New Year's Eve in Cloverdale?

What is there to do in New Year's Eve in Cloverdale?

Not too much.

The last big Cloverdale New Year's event was on the Millenium, a party at the fairgrounds. 50,000 people expected but the reality was closer to 5,000.

Fraser Downs is hosting a buffet from 7pm to 9pm and a live DJ from 10pm to 1am. That kind of leaves an hour in there to kill. Casino anyone? There is a hockey game on, though times not specified, but it will be on their big screen TVs. Cost is $39.95. Reservations required. Phone 604-575-5603. Fraser Downs is located in the fairgrounds off 60th Avenue and the lights at 177B Street.

The Cloverdale Legion (17567 57th Ave) is holding a New Year's Eve dinner and dance beginning at 7pm. Tickets are $50 and are on sale at the bar in the legion.
