new year's fun

Today's Centennial Farewell features FREE arts and crafts programs for children at the Unitarian Universalist church and UCCCA the Arts Council on Ford Avenue, followed by a community dinner and fireworks.

The events at the UU church are led by Oneonta World of Learning, Oneonta’s Children’s Museum. 11 am to 1 pm: Traditional Storytelling by Bill Swain at the UU church on Ford Avenue, where the audience plays a part. Also: Craft Making for children—create musical instruments and noisemakers!

From there, go across the street to the Upper Catskill Community Council of the Arts at Wilber Mansion for exciting, elaborate arts activities for kids let by professional artists from 1 to 3 pm.

Community dinners will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Society (potluck) on Ford Avenue and First United Methodist Church at the corner of Chestnut and Church Streets from 4:30-6:00 p.m.

The Centennial finale concert will be offered by the Catskill Valley Wind Ensemble beginning at 6:30 in the sanctuary of the First United Methodist Church. All are invited and admission is FREE.

The highlight of the evening will be a brief but spectacular fireworks display strategically timed to begin at 20:08 (8:08 p.m.) in Neahwa Park. All events sponsored by the City of Oneonta.
