Jones County Extension and Outreach welcomed around 40 kids to the Youth Development Center on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31, for their annual New Year’s Eve at Noon celebration. As the clock struck noon, balloons were thrown into the air as confetti guns went off. Kids received 2019 glasses, hats and noisemakers as they rang in the (early) New Year.
