'Sparkles' Throws Family Noon Year's Eve Skating Event
The Hiram skating rink will have a countdown and balloon drop will be held at 4 p.m.
Hiram's family-friendly skating rink, Sparkles, will be offering a family fun event on New Year's Eve from noon to 6 p.m.
"This event is always a big hit," Jessica Cranford said, the rink's sales manager. "A lot of families don't have things to do on New Year's Eve."
In its second year, this year-end party is quickly becoming a holiday favorite.
