Broadcasting Live from the
First Night Celebration on New Year's Eve."



I'm Back from a Holiday Break. Summer and I just returned today from a trip East through Washington and Montana. We spent New Year's Eve in Spokane where we went to the First Night Celebration. Cities all around the country have started having First Night's as a family-friendly alternative to traditional New Year's parties. Without alcohol, venues all around a town will have performances of music, drama and exhibitions of visual art. I have been to First Night's in Morristown, New Jersey, Missoula, Montana, and now Spokane, Washington. I think that they are a great way to experience the creative flavor of city.
