I was so used to celebrating new years day at midnight. Not 9:00 pm. For the fire works. So does this mean we celebrate new years on Nova Scotia time???
Fort Saskatchewan
New Year’s Eve in the Fort
https://www.facebook.com/events/1412060275489413/
Ring in the New Year with your family at our first annual New Year’s Eve in the Fort.
Outdoor activities include mini sno-golf, bean bag toss, snow painting and don’t forget bring your skates. Mix 107 will be providing the music to skate to. Make masks and noise makers to ring in the New Year, use the photo booth and enjoy treats at the warming stations. Dennis of Fort Sight and Sound is donating his services for an outdoor dance in the fort’s courtyard. Our grand finale is a Parade of Light. Join the volunteers and march around the Fort wearing your mask and glow in the dark prizes. We end up in the courtyard for a traditional New Year’s Eve countdown. And that’s not ALL we have planned !
