A few days ago we put a call out on Healdsburg Patch Facebook for suggestions on what to do for NYE here in town. Unfortunately we had very limited results If you know of something to do (aside from a private party that we're not invited to) in the Healdsburg area, please leave a comment.

Outside of Healdsburg there other choices, from Wonderbread 5 at the Last Day Saloon (120 5th Street Santa Rosa ) to a family style New Year's Eve party at the Flamingo Resort (2777 Fourth St. at Farmer's Lane). If you're up for farther travels, there's a Countdown to 2013 at The Bay View Restaurant & Bar in Bodega Bay, or blues guitarist Tommy Castro at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma.
