- If you don't mind driving a bit, Worcester's First Night has lots of activities
- for kids, including early fireworks (6:30) and skating at the Centrum until
- about 11. I've never been, but plan to go this year. Worcester First Night
- buttons are $8.00 and are available almost everywhere. Free bus transport is
- another big win for this first night.
