Still don't know how to celebrate the New
Year? Fret not! There's a lot going on across Muskoka this
December 31st, from good old fashioned family celebrations to
romantic escapes for couples.
The region's resorts
are going all-out to ensure there's fun to be had for all
ages. Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville is offering a special
Singing in the New Year package for $182 per person, per night
(a minimum 2 nights, arriving December 30th or 31st).
The package features a choice of select accommodation as well
as two tickets to the resort's fun New Year's festivities,
including a buffet dinner in the Peninsula Ballroom followed
by the fabulous Sing 2001: A Musical Odyssey show. A choice of
two seatings are available -- 6 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. Children
are most definitely welcome. For just $50 a child (12 years
and under, tax and gratuity extra) you can take the kids to
the 6 p.m. performance of the award-winning stage show. For
further details, visit the website www.deerhurst.ca
Still
in Huntsville, Grandview Resort is also hosting New Years'
events suitable for the whole family. A special New
Years Family Party package includes a choice of
accommodation, a gala buffet plus all-night dancing. The cost:
From $229
per person. A grown-up version of the package offers accommodations,

A
little further south, the town of Port Sydney is hosting a
fun-filled Gala Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance at the community
hall. Sponsored by the Port Sydney, Utterson and Area Chamber
of Commerce, the fun begins at 8 p.m. and -- to help keep
revelers' stamina up -- a buffet will be available at 10 p.m.
A cash bar will stay open into the wee hours, and DJ Andy
Lenze will spin many a good dance tune. Masks and party
favours will also be available, courtesy of Cakes in Space.
Tickets cost $45 a pop, and are available at Zanetti's Store
in Port Sydney (call 705-385-2253).
Much
of the fun in Bracebridge will center around the Inn at the
Falls on Dominion St. To celebrate the New Year, the Inn has
developed a special package that includes a sumptuous
four-course gourmet dinner in Victoria's Restaurant, live
entertainment and a champagne toast at midnight. Breakfast is
also included for those brave enough to get up the following
day (if you do make breakfast, wander over to the Town Hall
for the Mayor's Levee afterwards). For further information,
phone 705-645-2245, or toll Free 1-877-645-9212.
Alternatively, send the Inn an e-mail at frontdesk@innatthefalls.net
Finally,
whether you've stayed up all night partying or managed to wake
up without a headache, head over to Gravenhurst KOA Nordic
Trails for an early morning cross-country ski. Dubbed the
"hang-over special", this January 1st tradition
allows early-risers to ski-for-free until noon along the
property's 17 kms of trails. (KOA is located off the
Gravenhurst Parkway near Muskoka Airport).
Whatever
you chose to do to celebrate, have fun… and keep safe!
Happy
New Year!
