I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas weekend. This next weekend for New Year's Eve there are plenty of celebrations going on at various bars, clubs, and restaurants around town, but I won't mention them all. As a reminder, my goal on this blog is to provide a sampling of activities every week and prove that Middle Georgia is not boring. So, with that in mind, here's some activities to finish out 2010 and get a start on 2011.
On Tuesday night at 9 pm, the Rookery is offering "Ho Ho...Oh No: Stories About the Holidays." If you're not familiar with the Rookery, it's a great little bar and restaurant on Cherry Street in downtown Macon. Tuesday night's event will be a karaoke/storytelling event where people can tell their best (and worst) stories about the holidays, up to 10 minutes long. Maybe you even have one to share! Even if you don't, you can go grab a burger or an appetizer and your favorite tasty beverage and enjoy some laughs.
Macon claims the title of "Cherry Blossom Capital of the World," and so their signature event for New Year's Eve is naturally the Cherry Blossom Ball Drop in downtown Macon. The festivities start at 9 pm and include music and entertainment. Head down there early to get a parking spot and grab some dinner at any of the fabulous restaurants on Cherry Street.
If you have thought about picking up a new instrument or just want to learn about some Southern culture, drop by the Middle Georgia Dulcimer Music Group at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on Saturday at 1:00 pm. They meet every first Saturday to share their love of the dulcimer, and they offer a free workshop to teach newcomers how to play the dulcimer. You don't have to own a dulcimer, they are happy to share theirs.
Have a fun-filled New Year!
