This New Year's Eve may be nothing like previous years.
Not only will people be celebrating a new year, they will be celebrating a new millennium.
For residents within the corporate limits of Warsaw and Winona Lake, one thing will remain the same: Fast Cab Inc.'s "Save A Life" program.
From 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Dec. 31, Fast Cab will provide free rides anywhere in town. A "fleet" of extra cabs will be on the road for the new year's events. The number to call is 269-2222.
"Typically," said Dave Cesaretti, owner of Fast Cab Inc., "it's very busy on New Year's Eve as it is. This year it's also the millennium and on Friday."
The program is sponsored by Nelson Beverages, Rex's Rendezvous, Time Out Inn, Rozella Ford Restaurant & Lounge, Warsaw Bowl, Applebee's, Warsaw Eagles, Sparkie's, Harrigan's Irish Pub, Ramada Plaza Hotel, Service Liquors, Liquid Assets, Ruby Tuesdays, Orion's, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Schrader's Auto Parts.
"They're being responsible vendors," said Cesaretti. "Only through their generosity can I make this event possible."
He said he encourages people to take cabs more often if they plan to go out drinking. He said people should enjoy the celebration of the new year and millennium and let Fast Cab get them home safely.
Fast Cab has held the event for approximately 10 years.
