McKemie Place to Host New Year’s Eve Party
Dec 1st, 2010
Ringing in the New Year has never been more enlightening. That’s what happens when you have a good time for an even better cause."Mobile In Lights… Enlightens Mobile," a New Year's Eve party hosted by McKemie Place in conjunction with the City of Mobile and Mobile County will come alive in the Mobile Convention Center's Cityscape Gallery (3rd Floor) on Friday, December 31, 2010 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Your evening will kick off with heavy hors d'oeuvres and dancing to live music from iSing. The excitement continues with a beautiful inside and outside view of the MoonPie Over Mobile Drop from the RSA BankTrust Building along with a champagne toast at midnight. Finally, you’ll have a front row-view of a thrilling fireworks display lighting up the night sky over the Mobile River.

Weighing 55 pounds, measuring 40” in diameter and 6” in height and boasting 14 lbs. of marshmallow, 6 lbs. of chocolate and 45,000 calories, the world’s largest MoonPie will then be served to all in attendance, as long as it lasts.
