Where can you buy happiness, frivolity, companionship, laughter, hero sandwiches, snax and LIVE LIVE MUSIC for only $6.00? That’s right, the Neighborhood New Year’s Eve Party!
The party will be held at Scariot Hall (enter on Rosedale) ,December 31, 9:30 p.m. until ??? (That allows you time to eat dinner before coming, if you’re so inclined.) Our prom band, The “Now N Then” (no relation to “Sooner or Later,” “Yesterday and Today,” or “Was and Weres”) will be performing again and, get this, they’ve added an organ! Your $6.00 ticket also entitles you to a hunk of hero sandwich and snax. Naturally, there will be a cash bar. Tickets may be purchased in advance from either JoAnn Vatcha (726-6974), Anna Bush (862-5122), or Tom Hoerr (862-5071). The tickets will also be available at the door, but you’d be wise to purchase them in advance; the hall isn’t that big.
Coming to the neighborhood party has several advantages: 1) You can roll home. This protects you and the crazies on the street. 2) You can frolic with neighbors. Maybe then you will understand why they don’t shovel snow. Better yet, you may decide not to care whether or not it gets shoveled. 3) You can bring in your non-neighborhood friends and show them what a real neighborhood is like. 4) You can enjoy the all-era music of the Now N Then. 5) You can enjoy the all-era liquor of the cash bar. 6) You can save money. 7) You can save money. (Thought that one deserved repeating.)
See you New Year’s Eve!
