First Night promises to be a top-notch event
Tuesday, December 28, 2010
If you were lucky enough to take part in last year's First Night celebration in McCook, you know what a fun way it was to bring in the New Year.
If you were there, you've probably already purchased your First Night button (at Brown's Shoe Fit, El Puerto, First Central Bank, McCook Art Guild, the Keystone Business Center, Longnecker Jewelry, McCook National Bank, Sehnert's Bakery or the Sports Shoppe) and are ready to go.
If not, you should give it a try.
A schedule on page two today should give you an idea; the usual venues are there -- a night of juggling, magic and comedy at the Fox Theatre, beginning at 6 and lasting until midnight, but a number of local businesses will host entertainment as well.
Check them out for entertainment like music, comedy, caricature drawing, custom fingernail painting, dining and dancing. You can find something for everyone at Brown's Shoe Fit, the CarMel Salon, El Puerto, High Plains Model Railroad Club, the High Plains Museum, Keystone Business Center, Knights of Columbus Hall, Longnecker Jewelry, Madison's Cafe, McCook Art Guild, the Methodist Church, Totally Tea and Etiquette Too, and, if you're lucky enough to have purchased separate dinner show tickets, a Live at the Bieroc comedy show.
The McCook YMCA's second annual Resolution Run signs up at 4 p.m. and runs at 5 p.m. for the more ambitious revelers.
The evening's activities will culminate with fireworks and a ball drop downtown at midnight.
Congratulations to the McCook Young Leaders and all the other sponsors who have lined up what promises to be a great way to say goodbye to 2010.
