Children’s Museum celebrates new year early

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The new year came early at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

The museum held its Countdown to Noon event Thursday.

The annual event is a way for parents and children across central Indiana to celebrate the new year without having to stay up late.

Hundreds of parents and kids turned out to see the water clock countdown.

Organizers say the celebration is unique since it allows kids and families to bring in the new year together.

The first year of the Countdown to Noon event was 2009.
