New Year's Eve Eve Party at Viking Vineyard

Don't want to leap hastily in the new year? You can ease your way in with a New Year's Eve Eve event scheduled Wednesday, December 30, from 6:00 to 10 p.m. at Viking Vineyards, 268 Old Forge Road,
Kent, Ohio.

The annual party allows you to celebrate the end of the old year and the coming of the new year twice. Or, you can just avoid the New Year's Eve madness (and traffic, and police check points, etc.) altogether. Enjoy a glass or two of wine with friends and family, munch some hors d'oeuvres, listen to some great fun music, and relax before you get ready for the real party the next day.

The menu includes Italian sausage, their "famous" meatballs, cheeses, veggies and dip, rolls and butter, dessert, plus more.The price for this munchfest is only $7.50 per person, plus tax, due at the time of reservations.

The food will be out from 6:00 to 8:00, then you can stay for the rockin' music of Tequilla Bob and the Flip Flops from 8:00 to 10:00. Fun, fun! Reservations and pre-payment are due no later than Dec. 27. The winery can only seat the first 76 people in the Lake View Room, so don't delay. Above that, attendees will be seated in the tasting room with the wide screen TV and live feed of the music (if you've been there for Tequila Bob, you know it works really well).
