From the City of Statesville

Published: December 22, 2008

It's not too late and it's definitely not to early to make plans to attend Statesville's own New Year's Eve Gala. It will feature The Showmen with opening act Fat Back and the Cadillacs, who are back by popular demand.

The festivity is slated for Wednesday, Dec. 31. Doors open at 8 p.m. and Fat Back and the Cadillacs will take the stage at 9 p.m. followed by intermission.

At 10:20 p.m. The Showmen will perform their first of two sets and after a brief intermission will return to the stage and sing us into the New Year. Tickets are $25 and includes scrumptious hors d'oeuvres menu of chicken wings, meatballs, vegetable trays, franks, cheese and crackers, desserts and coffee.

A cash bar will be provided by Downtown Statesville Development Corporation. Tables may be reserved for parties of eight. General seating is available to others. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Statesville Civic Center.
