Price Tower Hosting Annual Olive Drop For New Year’s Eve
BARTLESVILLE, OK – It is not your usual New Year’s Eve party. Price Tower Arts Center is ready to ring in the New Year. The annual Olive Drop returns on December 31st to the Taliesin Room and Copper Bar at Price Tower Arts Center. The fun includes a countdown with a giant green olive dropping from the top of the Price Tower into a large martini glass at the base of the building.
Ayngel and the Entourage will perform live in the Taliesin Room from 9 p.m. to midnight. There will also be a cash bar and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. Admission to the Olive Drop is free for Price Tower Arts Center and $5 for others. There will be complimentary champagne for a midnight toast.
“This is such a fun way to welcome 2010. We think we are home to the only annual Olive Drop in the United States. We are excited to bring this event back for its 6th year,” said Debra Woodall, marketing manager for Price Tower Arts Center.
Price Tower Arts Center’s Olive Drop also offers a three course dinner. Seating times for the special menu prepared by Comstock Catering will be at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Space is limited, so reservations are required. Dinner guests are given admission to the Taliesin Room.
