ABOUT TOWN: Ring in 2012 in Style

Welcome to "About Town with Mark Snyder," a column that will keep you up to the minute with what's what, who's who and what's going on around town. If you see or hear something we could use here, let us know by sending an e-mail to pmpco@aol.com.

 

TEMPLE ON NEW YEARS EVE? Ring in the New Year in style!  On Saturday, Dec. 31, starting at 7 p.m., celebrate the New Year at Ahavath Torah Congregation with a full evening of cocktails, a gourmet dinner from hors d'oeuvres to dessert, and dancing to the amazing Boston Baked Blues with Vinny Serino.

The evening includes fabulous complimentary cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, a gourmet dinner, champagne toast, dessert, coffee and tea, along with the Boston Baked Blues, all for $80 per person. 

Or, arrive at 9 p.m. to dance to the sound of Boston Baked Blues, and top off the evening with a champagne toast, dessert, coffee and tea, all for just $60 per person. 

There will be a cash bar, raffles, and more.

Boston Baked Blues are one of Boston's best blues bands, and a mainstay of the blues scene for nearly 25 years. They are multiple winners at the Boston Music Awards.

The band is fronted by Vinny Serino and his sometimes searing, screaming, soulful and crying harmonica style. 

The band's music ranges from swing to rhythm and blues, to down-in-the-alley old time blues. As any band leader with a passion for playing, Vinny has always found a way to surround himself with the very best musicians possible. 

On New Year's Eve, this band will be backed by a three-piece horn section, forming an eight-piece band.

Come catch Boston Baked Blues live; you'll find it impossible to walk away without a smile on your face and a warm glow in your heart from the power and the honesty of this mighty blues band. 

Ticket prices are reserved prices.  Walk-ins will be accepted, space permitting, and will be subject to a $20 per person additional fee at the door.

Ahavath Torah Congregation is located on Central St. in Stoughton. 

For questions, call 781-910-3220, or send an email to fundraiser@atorah.org.

I never go out on New Year's Eve. Too costly, too many nuts on the road and what are we to do...celebrate another year of Gov'ts out of control, too many out of work (many who just don't want to work) and another year of monthly bills that keep getting larger. Anyway, Ch 38 has the 3 Stooges Marathon. Who, in their right mind, would want to miss this? woo, woo, woo, Ynuk, Ynuk, Ynuk!!!

Go and celebrate life and enjoy some good company and count your blessings. No matter how bad things are there is always someone much worse off.

Agreed. My New Year's Resolution is to remain happy with the many wonderful aspects of my life and to stop worrying about all the other nonsense out there!

Mark-that is a great deal! If only I had a babysitter:) I hope many take advantage of this fun night that the ATC is hosting.

Yes, the Three Stooges Marathon is a tradition! Cocktails at home, just me and my honey, sounds like just the ticket.
