19th Annual
Pontiac First Night
Paint the Town!
Monday, December 31, 2007
6pm - Midnight
Downtown Pontiac
This year marks the 19th year of the
First Night Celebration in Downtown
Pontiac! We are
1 of only 4
communities
in all of Illinois that
hold this
family-friendly,
non-alcohol New Year's Eve
celebration
. Moreover, Pontiac
provides the
2nd oldest First Night
in Illinois while being the smallest
community
to host such a
celebration!

We are very excited to share that
14
new acts
of entertainment will be
showcased at
10 different locations
in Downtown Pontiac! The festivities
will begin at 6pm and will continue
until midnight. Then, to ring in the
new year in fashion, a fireworks
display will begin promptly at
midnight - countdown included!
At First Night you can enjoy a horse
and carriage ride around the
downtown area or watch talented
Jack Gerard create an ice sculpture
masterpiece! Grab a bite to eat (and
maybe a hot chocolate to get warm!)
at one of our specialty downtown
listen to blue grass, gospel, and a
variety of music. Be entertained by a
hypnotist, magician, ventriloquist and
even a Bull Whip Guy! Or you can
put on your dancin' shoes and learn
how to dance hip hop! You can even
stop by the Livingston County War
Museum or Route 66 Hall of Fame
Museum!

Kids - You don't want to miss face
painting, clown shows, games,
painting projects, inflatables, and
caricatures!
Junior High & High Schoolers - You don't
want to miss karaoke, dance lessons, and
an awesome DJ!

So, come ring in the new year with us!
Enjoy entertainment, food, and fun
activities the entire night! With over 24
forms of entertainment, you and your
family are bound to find something to
enjoy!
