AREA CHILDREN ON Dec. 31 found a great way to celebrate the dawn of a new year, without staying up past their bedtimes. Middlebury’s Ilsley Library offered a kid-friendly “countdown to noon” this past New Year’s Eve, which included crafts, snacks, story time and a balloon drop as the clock ticked past noon.
