Looking for a fun way to bring in the new year? Here are a few ideas that were passed along to us:

  • Pioneers Pub, 618 McPherson St. in Casey, is offering a New Year’s Eve Prime Rib Dinner special from 5:30-9 p.m. Reservations are recommended, 641-746-3313.
  • Tin Lizzie’s (next door to Pioneers Pub) offers live music from 9 p.m. to midnight, bringing in the new year with a performance titled, “The Faster Horses presents: A Fiddler & I Tour.”
  • On New Year’s Day, many of Iowa’s state parks are offering “First Day Hikes.” Some are guided hikes, while others are self-guided. A list of more than 40 such hikes is available at iowadnr.gov.
  • Another upcoming event in Casey is the Game Day for adults, Sunday, Jan. 12, 2-4 p.m. at the Casey Library, 604 McPherson St. Card games, board games, and refreshments will be offered.
