SALISBURY — Local youth enjoyed the opportunity to ring in the new year a bit early this season thanks in part to the efforts of the Scoville Memorial Library and its “Noon Year’s Eve Celebration” event held on Saturday, Dec. 31.

The event was held at 11 a.m. to give children and parents the chance to celebrate the new year without having to stay up too late.

Kendra Percy, the library’s director of Children’s Services, kicked off the festivities with an interactive story hour followed by a joyful release of balloons and an arts and crafts workshop where children made their own party streamers.

As the clock approached the noon hour the children, alongside their parents and Percy began the ceremonial holiday countdown and when the clock struck twelve the young revelers celebrated with a confetti party.

Elements of earth, wind, fire and water are represented with food, papel picada (colorful decorative paper), candles and tequila left for the beloved deceased.
