Ice Skating, Shopping, Dining, Live Music and Fireworks Mark the Celebration and The Village as the Place to Be for New Year's Eve

DESTIN, FL, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ - Kiss 2009 goodbye and count down to the New Year in style at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Gather friends and family and make merry this New Year's Eve on Thursday, Dec. 31 at The Village of Baytowne Wharf for the New Year's Eve Party, a family friendly celebration, which is free and open to the public.

Old-fashioned fun all day, live music all night, and the biggest firework extravaganza of the year at midnight make this the place to be for New Year's Eve.

Skate into the New Year the old-fashioned way - bundled arm in arm gliding around the outdoor ice skating rink centered in the picturesque Village. The skating rink welcomes skaters on New Year's Eve from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission to the rink is $8 and rental skates are available for $2.

On New Year's Eve day, stroll the resort and enjoy a number of family-friendly activities - watch a magic show, paint your own pottery masterpiece, spy dolphin from Jolee Island nature park, enjoy the sun setting over the marina, browse nearly 50 specialty retail shops, or simply make conversation and take in the fresh air as you walk along the 26-mile pathway at your leisure.

Continue your celebration with dinner in the Village or overlooking the Gulf of Mexico at Finz Beachside Grille. Under the skillful direction of Executive Chef Philippe Robles and Chef Justin Stark, Finz features beachside dining with a delicious new twist. On New Year's Eve, Finz will begin seating guests at 7 p.m. for a specially selected pre-fixed menu. Toast the occasion before and after dinner with cocktail specials upstairs in the festive Finz Loft, while listening to a live entertainment. For pricing and dinner reservations, call Finz Beachside Grille at (850) 267-4800.

Resort guests may take advantage of complimentary transportation aboard a resort tram to the Village to hear live music (beginning at 7:30 p.m.), while browsing quaint shops, tasting delicious dessert and other delights at a number of charming eateries and taking in live entertainment at several nightspots.

As midnight nears, party goers will enjoy a performance by Mustang Sally, who will rock in the New Year from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the Village Events Plaza.

Midnight will be marked by the most spectacular fireworks display of the year that has made the Village famous. Watch in wonder as the Village makes this 2010 celebration sparkle with festive fanfare.

Recognizing the importance of shoring up network vulnerabilities, Culpeper County chose ForeScout CounterACT to secure their network and protect critical government agencies from malware, viruses and cyber threats.

This is an important factor in today's business environment of shrinking IT budgets and limited resources.

"Local government agencies such as ours have been feeling the pressure to advance cyber-security measures. I am proud that a respected technology source such as InfoWorld has recognized the importance of our work through the InfoWorld 100 Awards," said Todd Frazier, Systems Administrator of Culpeper County Government.
