Hawk’s Landing CC in Southington, Conn. sold all seats at its banquet hall for its $150/person bash, and also at its Club 19 restaurant for two New Year’s Eve seatings as well as the previous night. Hunter Golf Club, The Tradition Golf Club at Wallingford and Southington CC all also reported strong demand for their holiday celebrations.

Less than a year after an arsonist set the Meriden, Conn., club’s restaurant on fire, the Italian eatery is reopening following an extensive renovation that rebuilt the support beams and roof, as well as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and fire alarm systems.
