The Le Roy community will ring in the new year with its annual fireworks display.
And there’s no need to wait until midnight.
The display is planned for 9 p.m. Thursday. The best viewing locations are along the Oatka creek bank near Main (Route 5) and Wolcott streets.
The New Year’s Eve forecast calls for a high of about 35, dipping toward freezing in the evening. Flurries or snow showers are possible.
Several stores and restaurants Downtown will offer specials between 5 and 9 p.m.
Also, the historic Le Roy House, 23 E. Main St., will open at 7 p.m. for warm cider and coffee, old-fashioned games and more.
The annual event is sponsored by the Le Roy Business Council, whose First Night Raffle raised funds to pay for the fireworks display.
The drawing for six prize packages was Dec. 21. Winners were:
— Grand Prize (dinner and limo ride): Jen Hart
— Wine Time: Ann Walters
— Around the Home: Mary Gugino
— Dine All Day: Nicole Vink
— Health & Beauty: Francis McCall
