Celebrations at Crocker Park kicked off 2011 with a bang.
Westlakers and neighboring residents flocked to Crocker Park on New Year's Eve to celebrate the city's bicentennial and the coming new year. From Irish dancers to juggling to family-friendly songs, there was something for everyone. The unseasonably warm weather boosted the mood and everyone was cheering to ring in 2011. When the clock struck midnight in Westlake's sister city of Tralee, Ireland, (7 p.m. here) the ball dropped, kicking off a year-long celebration of the city's 200th anniversary. Party-goers here could even watch festivities in Tralee via live telecast.
