In addition to the great music, you could find Beer Pong at the Gilroy, Karaoke at Kelly’s On Franklin Street, and McKenzie’s Lounge; a limbo contest and palm reading at the Coup; and portraits at the Hilton Garden Inn. The Pinnacle was packed with people spending New Years Eve bowling.

In Historic Downtown Clarksville the turn out for New Years Eve out was down, and according to one business owner has been going down for several years. This could be a direct result of the popularity of venues in other parts of the city.

At the Indoor Aquatic Center 15-20 young people gathered for a New Years Eve pool party. The brand new event will likely become more and more popular as the word spreads about this as a kid friendly New Years Eve destination.
