New Year’s at Noon Dec. 31
Town of Farragut presents its annual New Year’s at Noon, taking place from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 31, in Farragut Community Center, 239 Jamestowne Blvd.
This event is free and open to the public and does not require any registration, according to Rachel Malone, Recreation and Event manager.
“I’m excited,” she said. “It was a lot of fun last year, and I’m looking forward to it.
“It’s geared toward younger children who aren’t going to make it to midnight on New Year’s Eve, but it still gives them a chance to celebrate,” Malone added. “The biggest draw for the event is we drop a net full of about 1,000 balloons from the top of the gym at noon.”
Children sit under the balloons and have the balloons fall on top and around them.
Youngsters can enjoy crafts, snacks, games and a photo opportunity for parents to take family and children’s photos at a designated wall space.
“It’s been great in the past,” Malone said. “We have a lot of families who come in and enjoy it. … We capped it at 100 people last year.”
She noted parents need to stay with their children.
