Free New Year's
Eve at Cardinal Center
Due to disappointing advance tickets sales to their New Year’s Eve
Fundraiser at the Cardinal Center (formerly Gettysburg School), the
Friends of the Cardinal Center have decided to cancel their sponsorship
of the event rather than risk taking a loss. As this cancellation would
cause a loss of income to the musical acts already contracted for the
event, a Gettysburg resident approached the Village of Gettysburg at
the December 10 Council meeting with a proposal to keep the event in
place with a different format.
The Council was asked to sponsor the New Year’s Eve event so that
insurance would be in place and the Cardinal Center could be used. The
resident guaranteed expenses so that no Village money would be at risk
and any profits from the evening would be used to help fund the 2016
Gettysburg Homecoming Festival fireworks being held in June. The
Gettysburg council accepted the proposal and agreed to sponsor the New
Year’s Eve Event.
The New Year’s Eve event will now be open to the public. Admission is
free with an optional $10 suggested donation per person to help cover
expenses. The doors will open for a social hour starting at 7:30
featuring music by guitarist Mike Sedmak and the Bob Gray Orchestra
will start at 9:00 and play until 12:15 as previously planned. There
will be no dinner or raffle. Snacks and drinks will be available for a
donation. Attendees may bring their own snacks and beverages, but NO
ALCOHOL or GLASS BOTTLES will be permitted. Parking is available in the
Cardinal Center lot as well as along Auld St on the North side of the
building.
Contact Brett Clark (937)447-2171 at the Gettysburg Village Office from
8-12 Mon-Fri for more information.
