Happy New Year to my friends, family, colleagues, and especially my wonderful clients – I hope you’ve been enjoying a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to a great new year. It has been my pleasure working with you, and I hope you have a truly joyous and successful 2014. Thank you for your trust and support, and I am excited to work hard again this year to help families and individuals find their dream homes.
If you’re looking for last minute plans, I’ve compiled a list of New Year’s events taking place in and around St. John’s this year. Please be safe tonight, and all the best.
Mount Pearl’s Family First Night Celebrations
Taking place on New Year’s Even from 4-6pm, this non-alcoholic family-oriented skating party emphasizes fun and participation. There will be music, prizes, games and more, and for admission they ask you bring a non-perishable food item.
North America’s First New Year
Come to Quidi Vidi Lake on New Year’s Eve, starting at 10:30 pm. Enjoy fireworks when the clock strikes midnight, as you’ll be the first people in North America to celebrate the new year.
New Year’s Eve Fun Run
Support the 4th Annual New Year’s Eve 5K Fun Fun in support of Basics for Babies, a local non-profit. Sign up to run yourself, or cheer on those who do.
Family New Year’s Eve Skate
The Town of Conception Bay South in partnership with Tim Hortons will be hosting this annual skate party. Bring a non-perishable food item to the Robert French Memorial Stadium from 5-pm, to enjoy Tim Hortons treats, prizes and a family skate. Fireworks follow at 7:30 at Sgt. Ned Nugent’s Park.
If you’re looking for something different this year, I also recommend what I think will be a stunning, romantic New Year’s Eve away from the crowds, at The Doctor’s House. You may remember that I’ve previously partnered up this fantastic Inn and Spa, just an hour outside St. John’s, for a contest this summer. Now that winter is coming on, their place is just as gorgeous, only more cozy, and their New Year’s Eve plans include gourmet lobster and prime rib dinner, live music from a popular local singer and guitarist, and champagne and fireworks at midnight. I know they have some special deals on spa packages and lodging at their nearby cottages that might be worth asking about. Learn more about their New Year’s Eve offerings here.
I hope you’ll enjoy a wonderful New Year’s with your family, and of course I wish you all the best in 2014. I look forward to another great year of helping families find their perfect real estate – and if you’d like to learn more about whether you can become a homeowner in 2014, I sincerely hope you’ll call me at 682.0744.
