Commerce to host area's biggest New Year's party

The group expects upwards of 400 people to turn out to the Commerce Civic Center Wednesday, Dec. 31, for its annual New Year’s party and dance.

It’s expected to be the biggest New Year’s party in Northeast Georgia.

The Jesters, an Athens group that grew into prominence in the 1960s and has both a wide repertoire and a local following, will provide the music from 8:30 to 12:30.

Tickets are $25 per person, and tables for eight can be reserved for $250 by calling the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) office at 706-335-2954. No one under age 21 will be admitted.

Dinner Too

The CABA will also offer a pre-party dinner in the Commerce Room of the civic center, catered by the Telford-Burns House. It starts at 6:30.

The cost is also $25, and reservations can be made by calling the DDA office.
