Join
your friends and make new ones at the Schooner Wharf Bar New Year�s
Eve Celebration, where the past meets the future and the present is a
whole lot of fun.
Schooner Wharf Bar is presenting its original New Year�s Eve
tradition, the �Lowering of the Pirate Wench� from a 100-foot high
mast of the tall ship Halie and Mathew docked in front of the popular
waterfront watering hole. They will be lowering pirate wench, Evalena
Worthington, co-owner of Schooner Wharf, against large illuminated
countdown numbers � from 10, 9, 8 and so on, until the stroke of
midnight where �2010� will light up to launch the new decade. All of
this is against a backdrop of the ship�s crew dressed as pirates, the
release of white balloons and cannon fire. Complimentary party favors,
hats and horns add to the festive atmosphere.
The day�s fun starts early with live music from Michael McCloud and
Friends, followed by the island rhythms and steel drums of Toko Irie
and Yban Agbo. Next up from 10:00 pm till late is the bounding energy
and funk of Biscuit Miller and the Mix. Bring your dancin� shoes for a
�pipin� hot biscuit� full of soulful blues stew. Miller has played
with such legends as Muddy Waters and Ike and Tina Turner. Never a
dull moment at this happening place, prior to the countdown a DJ plays
festive holiday music to entertain the harbor walk crowd.
Join everyone on the harbor walk for a musical line-up guaranteed to
take you dancing into the new year, and for COUNTDOWN 2009 into the
new year 2010!!!
Have a safe and
happy New Year from your friends at Schooner Wharf Bar.
Where locals feel at home and visitors feel local!!!
