New Year's Eve

Nope, not going to happen this year. Probably won't happen next year either.

Where are the NYE Hot Spots?

The 23rd annual 1st Night Tri-Cities is Tomorrow night December 31st at the Gesa Carousel of Dreams where Tri-Cities Families can bring in the New Year in a fun family environment

I once had a girlfriend who insisted on kissing at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, but as a young man, I had no idea why she insisted on getting that late-night smooch.

Over the years, the Tri-City Americans have led the Western Hockey League when it comes to specially designed theme jerseys worn on certain nights. They've included the Pink Ice breast cancer awareness nights, Military Night, Nuclear Night and more...

Don't miss the biggest Bull Riding Event in Pasco on New Year's Eve!

If you are still looking for somewhere to ring in the New Year there's no need to worry! Whether you're looking for family fun or a night out on the town, Tri Cities has plenty of options for you this New Year's Eve.

If you're planning a New Year's Eve party for the whole family -- or for people who don't drink -- here are some of my favorite punch recipes.

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club's annual New Year's swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun. We probably should've gone, but there was that whole hangover thing to deal with. Which makes us wonder, does jumping into the freezing Atlantic ocean cure a hangover? If so, we're totally there next year.

Every New Year's Eve I make resolutions based on what went wrong the previous year. And like everyone else, I find resolutions hard to keep. So let's be candid and realistic: what happened in 2012 that is motivating your resolutions? What did you do wrong that you hope to fix or never repeat in 2013?

The only tradition I partake in is watching the ball drop in New York and maybe setting off some fireworks. I was quite surprised to read how other countries around the world celebrate, you will be too.

First Night Tri-Cities 2013 is the perfect way to celebrate the new year.
