On December 31, a throng of party-goers celebrated new year’s eve at Cady Hall. The room was full of lights and sparkling strands, and a constant stream of dance tunes kept everyone in motion. Mark Nicholson and Stephanie Wolf served as DJs, playing music that got everyone up on the dance floor, and their setup took up less room than a band, so there was more room to dance.

Outside a tent and a heater provided more room to gather, and for the hardy, there was a fire place on the library lawn. Lights glowed and flashed, the doors were open to the not-too-cold winter night, and there was plenty of food. The sponsors, Gerry Isaac and Lynne Weatherby, Bob and Elise Misiorowski, High Spirits Flutes, The Duquesne House, Inn and Gardens, and Deborah Fain – SBBI, really worked to promote the free event, and to encourage attendance from neighboring communities.

The preparations for this one night of celebration were noteworthy. The lights, the speakers, the tent, the fireplace, the decorations must have taken hours to assemble and dismantle.

Many thanks to those who donated time and money to make this gift to the town. It set a new standard for this favorite annual event!
