Valley City Times-Record

Fargo’s nearly 60 miles away, and celebrating the new year at home in front of a television set isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time.
    Plus, Barnes County doesn’t have any happening places to celebrate the new year, right?
    Guess again.
    Here’s the scoop on some of what’s happening in the Valley tonight and tomorrow as we celebrate another year gone, and another one to come.

* Labor Club will have the band Triple Play on stage from 9 p.m. until closing.

* Captain’s Pub will have $2 Captain Morgan drinks and a DJ will be on stage from 9 p.m. until closing.
