The end of the year is already here and a great way to say goodbye to 2008 and usher in 2009 is at Chatham's First Night. The 18th annual First Night will get started around noon on Dec 31st with the town photo in front of Chatham Lighthouse. From there dozens of entertainment features, featuring music and culture from the 40's, will get started around town. The culmination will at midnight when Chatham's unique "Countdown Cod will be dropped from a bucket truck at Oyster Pond with fireworks erupting behind it. Countdown Cod is a giant aluminum creature designed and built by First Night committee vice chairman, Richard Clifford.
A big bonfire on the beach on the evening of the fireworks allows kids too young to stay up until midnight to enjoy the New Year's Eve celebrations. Buttons are still available for the events, although there are several events that do not need the button for participation. For a complete list of activities and merchants selling the buttons visit, www.firstnightchatham.com.
The Tidewater is offering a special rate of $59.99 on New Year's Eve and if you're staying for two nights, the rate goes down to $49.99 per night.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
