Here in Allegan, we are a sharp contrast to the crowded streets and live music of Times Square, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a great place to ring in the New Year! Grab your signifigant other, best friends, or closest family members and rent a cabin on one of the many surrounding lakes, or hole up at a cozy B&B. Enjoy a relaxing dinner here at the Grill House with some festive drink specials and homemade desserts, then spend the waning hours of 2011 walking around the snow covered streets and boardwalk of Allegan. Retreat back to your room for some warm drinks and laughter as you reflect back on a wonderful year and forge ahead into 2012!
I’ll leave you with the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne (Times Gone By) – Happy New Year!!
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago!
Chorus:
For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by.
We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For times gone by.
We two have paddled (waded) in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since times gone by.
And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill drink (of ale)
For times gone by!
And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!
