The celebration started with everyone receiving noisemakers andfestive hats or tiaras to get into the New Year mood. With attendees dressed and ready for the occasion, they gathered in the center of the gym for the countdown and balloon drop. The announcer counted down from ten as excitement filled the room, and at 12 p.m. exactly Bridgeview Park District Vice President Pannaralla and Treasurer Ahmad pulled the string to release the gold and red balloons that cascaded down on the crowd. Cheers and the sounds of noisemakers created a small roar as everyone celebrated.

When attendees started to finish eating, the fun game of attention and chance—Bingo—began in full.
