The 10th annual
First Night Fall River New Year’s Eve block party provided plenty of
opportunity to start the New Year off with some heart-healthy activity for
the hundreds of people in attendance. This year’s theme, "Past, Present
and Future," featured exhibits depicting Fall River through various time
periods as well as its second First Night Wedding. The ceremony began with
a starlit procession to Gromada Plaza at 6:30 p.m. and concluded with
fireworks over Government Center. To read the Herald News article
