know the unfortunate news that New Year's Eve falls on a Sunday.

No, you don't

have to get up and go to work the next day, but it will feel like it and

odds are you'll constantly be reminding yourself of that. That is, unless

you do something wild and crazy and usher in the real millenium with a

bang.

There are several

options for all of the potential party animals out there, of any age.

For some people,

a nice meal is a good way to usher in the new year and many restaurants

will be offering a special evening of dining. City Cafe in Fayetteville

will have its millenium celebration Saturday, Dec. 30, while Village Cafe

and Olde Mill Steakhouse will have their celebrations on New Year's Eve.

The best bet for those of you who would like to enjoy a good meal is to

call your favorite restaurant and see what they have planned.

For the younger

crowd, Dazzles II Skating Rink and Fayetteville Fun Bowl will both be

hosting New Year's Eve celebrations. Dazzles II will be open from 7 p.m.

Dec. 31 to 7 a.m. Jan. 1. The cost for the all-night skate is $10. Fayetteville

Fun Bowl will host Cosmic Bowling. The cost of the lanes from 8-11 p.m.

is $60, while lanes from 11:30 p.m.-2:30 a.m. will cost $70.

The Wyndham

Peachtree Conference Center also will host New Year's Eve celebrations,

as they usher in the "True Millennium." The Hunt Club will host

a four-course meal, complete with champagne celebrations, at the beginning

of the meal and again at midnight. Cost is $185 per couple and $95 for

singles.

Admission also

gives you free admission to the Hunt Club Lounge. Reservations are required

hors d'oeuvres, party favors and dancing to the Blue Kudza Band, as well

as a Champagne toast at midnight. Tickets will be $30 and will be sold

at the door.

The Grand Ballroom

will host the largest celebration complete with a filet mignon and loster

dinner. There will be cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, a four-course meal, an

open bar, a Champagne toast at midnight and a continental breakfast. The

band Paparazzi will perform and D.J. Dale also will spin tunes. Tickets

are $365 per couple or $190 per single. Reservations are required by calling

Other options

for New Year's Eve are watching the Stanley Kubrick film "2001: A

Space Oddysey," hosting your own party, or traveling into Atlanta

for festivities, including First Night.

Whatever you

and yours choose to do, have a happy and safe holiday.
