Not too long ago, the only excitement in Mercer County on New Year’s was the occasional gun shot at midnight. But nowadays, there is actual evidence that Mercer County residents are not afraid of the dark. Several local venues are hosting New Year’s celebrations.
Blue Groove Jazz, seen here performing with James Poole at this year’s Jazz Festival, will play at the Lodge at Logan’s Vineyard on New Year’s Eve.
Rock Haven Cigar Tap Pour House will start their New Year’s Eve party at 5 p.m. Count down the final moments of 2021 with live music and a special menu including shrimp cocktail and charcuterie for the night.
Downtown Pizza Pub will ring in the new year with live music by Firewater starting at 8 p.m. Admission is $10.
Not to be outdone, the Lodge at Logan Vineyards are hosting what they call the Ultimate New Year’s Eve Party starting at 6 p.m. Help welcome 2022 with food, complimentary beverages and music from Blue Groove Jazz and DJ Tim Goins and Solid Sounds Productions.
For those who are not shopped out after Christmas, the Shops at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill will host an After Christmas Sale running through Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022.
In addition, the Christmas Lights of Bondville continue in Salvisa weekend nights until the end of the year.
Devine’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch (623 Talmage-Mayo Road) is hosting a Winter Funfest Saturdays and Sundays through Feb. 27. There will be snow tubing if it’s cold enough to make snow and pictures with Santa. Hours are noon to 7 p.m. Saturdays and 2-5 p.m. Sundays.
Happy New Year from the Weekender and everyone at the Harrodsburg Herald.
The band Firewater will ring in the New Year at the Downtown Pizza Pub.
