While some will choose to stay at home and celebrate, there are a few events happening within Elk County for those interested in ringing in the New Year at local events.
Because of the inclement weather on Christmas Eve, the Wilcox Holiday Lighting Committee will be lighting their luminaries at 4 p.m. today. At this time they will begin displaying the luminaries along Marvin Street in Wilcox, and as 6 p.m. approaches, they will begin to ignite the wicks.
