HANCOCK COUNTY – As the song goes, “What are you doing New Year’s Eve?” If driving into the big city to watch a ball drop takes you too far from your home base, there are a number of events to celebrate the arrival of 2018 here in Hancock County.
Foxgardin
FORTVILLE — Revelers can enjoy the distinct musical sounds of Mank & Sass at Foxgardin, 215 S. Main St. The band begins at 8 p.m. and will play until 1 a.m.

Co-owner Toby Shelton hopes for a busy evening with Mank & Sass in the house. As soon as word got out that the duo would be performing on New Year’s Eve, reservations came flooding in, Shelton said.
“They’re a good fit,” he added. “They’ve played here once or twice a month since we opened. They’re who everybody wants to see.”
The lounge and the backroom will be set for dinner service through midnight, Shelton said, and he expects it to be busy. We don’t plan on anybody leaving once they’re here, he added.
