HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 1861 Club on the Kansas State Fairgrounds is hosting a New Year's Eve event for the public this year.
"We knew Hutch hadn't made a big New Year's Eve party for a lot of time or a lot of years," said James Fisher with the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation. "We decided to put together an exciting event for the community and invite people out, that also was a fundraiser for the foundation."
It's a full night of entertainment.
"The dinner starts at seven with an incredible band that'll start playing around 8:30 or 9," Fisher said. "We will do a toast at midnight. It really is just a fun evening of dining and dancing and and having a having a great evening together to ring in the new year."
Tickets are now available for $125/person or $225/couple. On December 24, tickets go to $150/person and $275/couple. Tickets must be paid for at the time they are reserved. The Foundation accepts cash, check or a credit card for payment. You can call to get your tickets at (620) 615-7388.
Featured entertainment will be LOST WAX, the original mashup party band and the house band at the 2023 NFL Draft held in Kansas City. They offer stacks of funky tracks spanning six decades of pop, rock, hip hop, and R&B.
"It's a place you feel comfortable in your cowboy hat or in your black tie tux," Fisher said. "It's welcoming to all, and it just makes you feel comfortable when you walk in the door. The natural wood, the stone, all of it put together. New Year's Eve is going to be exciting."
