In a town where Kielbasi and Pierogies are king, a new tradition began to ring in the new year.
On Saturday evening, over 100 Shenandoah community members and others from around Schuylkill County helped to celebrate the first ever New Years Eve Kielbasi/Pierogie Drop!
People began gathering around 5:00pm before the 7:00pm drop time. The event was held early in coordination with the Greenwich Meridian. Organizers chose the early time so younger children may enjoy the event as well.
As the Pierogie and Kielbasi were lowered by emergency personnel, everyone counted and cheered when the time hit 7:00pm. You could even here parts of the crowd singing "Auld Lang Syne".
The event took place at the American Legion Memorial Garden on North Main Street, next to the American Legion.
The event was supported by the Downtown Shenandoah Inc. and was organized by Shenandoah Valley Seniors, Lynn Rosa De Aza, Mrisol Velasquez, Liz Rosa De Aza, and Emily Tovar.
