Making their own crowns and blowing a lot of Kazoos.
“Oh Kazoo blasts, I would say it’s in the tens of thousands probably,” joked Myron.
Noon Year’s Eve is all about giving kids a special celebration that they can fit in before bedtime.
“It’s awesome, its nice that its local and its easy to get to. It’s awesome,” said Amanda Rausch who attended Noon Year’s Eve with her three kids.
