As New Years Eve hit the radar, we decided we wanted to do something at Fairbanks Princess Lodge to celebrate. We thought about various concepts, but kept returning to a multi course dinner with great wine and food. We knew this would appeal to a segment of people who might like to enjoy the evening out, but not participate in the traditional hoopla that goes along with ringing in the new year. We carefully selected menu items and paired them with delicious wines to appease the most discriminating palate. We felt this could be fun for a group or could remain intimate for couples celebrating together and of course, there would have to be a champagne toast at midnight to start of 2010 just right.
