Fayette Countians rang in

the new year in a variety of ways.

One group went to dinner,

then got on a boat and watched the new year arrive on

Crystal Lake. Some large and elaborate parties were held

throughout the county. Many spent a quiet evening at home

with family and friends.

Here are a few of the

things our Prime Timers and elected leaders did to bring

in the new millennium.

*Glenn Winslette

Holiday Inn Express, Fayetteville

"I stayed at the hotel

to make sure everything rolled over and operated without

disturbing our guests."

*Charlie Nelson

The Guide

"We got together with

a small group of friends and had a few laughs."

*Carol & Gene Fritz

Peachtree City Council

"We spent Christmas in

California visiting our grandchildren and enjoyed that

very much. We came home for a fairly low-key planned New

Year's, but we did stop by a couple of parties we had

been invited to for a short while to wish everyone well

for the new year."

Bill McNally

County Attorney

"We went to a party at

my daughters. My grandchildren were there - we had a

wonderful time."

*Susan & Jack Antel

"We had dinner with

our summer concert group of friends at the fabulous

Village Cafe in Fayetteville. At the midnight hour we

were at the home of Gordie and Sondra Tushek, where we

welcomed in the 21st Century."

*Hollis & Joyce Harris

Peachtree City

"We had a very quiet

evening at home with our daughter and grandchildren. And

we were not worried about Y2K at all."

Mickey Littlefield

Fayette County School Board

"I stayed at home with

my family. We watched the new year come in on the

television."

Harold Bost

Fayette County commission chairman

"On New Years Eve,

Evelyn and I attended a black-tie fund raiser party in

Port St. Joe, Flordia sponsored by the Womens League. We

met many of the local business and political

leaders."
