Something you won't see anywhere else, a huge gold nugget dropping onto a TEN FOOT DONUT, courtesy of Mr. Bob's Donuts, at midnight on New Year's Eve!  Ring in the New Year with us by joining the fun in downtown Marion, NC.  There are scavenger hunts, prizes including a gold nugget, food and craft vendors, music on the court house lawn, a 5k run, wagon rides (small charge) and more.  Downtown restaurants and tap rooms/music halls are open and the event begins at 8:30 pm. Your friends won't believe you, take pictures and come back next year!
