Local Residents Plan Their New Year’s Eve Activities

by Sarah Hepfl

On the final day of the year 2015, everyone is preparing for tonight’s New Year’s Eve festivities.

Some people enjoy a good party, others like to eat hotdogs and sauerkraut as a New Year’s tradition, and some just want to relax and take it easy.

Everyone chooses to celebrate the New Year in their own way, so let’s take a look around Armstrong County and see how the people plan to bring in the year 2016.

At Shop N’ Save, we talked to some of the deli workers to see what they had planned for New Year’s Eve…

Cindy Hepfl, from East Franklin Township, said she would treat New Year’s Eve just like any other Thursday, and like any other Thursday, it could be a “Thirsty Thursday”.

Ruthy Blicha, from Clearfield Township, has plans to celebrate with a few adult beverages.

Shelly Babbit, from Sarver, will be spending New Year’s Eve at the Sarver Veteran’s Club.

Cindy Fowler, from Kittanning Borough, has a lot of celebrating to do. She will be celebrating her birthday on New Year’s Eve because her birthday is on New Year’s Day.

The workers of the Shop N’ Save bakery shared their plans with us as well. Nancy Ruth, a Manor Township resident, is looking forward to a cozy night in to get caught up on some sleep.

Girty Rakowski, from Ford City Borough, doesn’t have anything special planed for the New Year.

After leaving Shop N’ Save, we ran into a few other Armstrong County Residents who shared their plans for New Year’s Eve. For some folks around town, bringing in the New Year won’t be able to fit into their busy work schedule.

One caller to the “David-N-Friends” morning show on WTYM AM 1380 said she is going to curl up with a good book to read, and then call a few family members at midnight to wish them a happy new year.

Larissa Pless, of Kittanning Borough, will be spending her New Year’s Eve at work and plans to head home when she’s all done and get some rest.

Brandon Schrecengost, an Applewold resident, says he will not be able to do anything special for New Year’s Eve because he has to work on New Year’s Day.

However you chose to celebrate New Year’s Eve, the staff and management of the Kittanning Paper hope you and your family have a wonderful time and a happy, safe New Year celebration!
