BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WTVF) — Brentwood Skate Center opened early on December 31 so families could spend some of New Year's Eve together.
"I think it's a great opportunity to come out to have something to do that doesn't involve a babysitter, or a parent dropping a kid off and doing something without their kids," said Nicholas Pasquale, general manager of Brentwood Skate Center.
The afternoon of open skating on the last day of the year is a tradition at the center. The business opened in 1981.
We did a search and there are very few family-friendly New Year's Eve events.
At the center, people of all ages can skate from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Around 4:30 p.m., the floor is cleared so a balloon drop can take place. The staff filled and suspended nearly 4,500 balloons with prizes inside.
Giveaways included cash and free prizes.
Austin Pollack brings us an update on a remarkable young man facing great odds, and his family has one simple request: pray for Cole. I believe in the power of prayer and hope you'll join me in lifting up Cole and his family.
