The Drabble Train is on its way to celebrate the New Year!
The party started at 8:00 p.m. in the town meeting hall.
Vases full of feathers with sparkling beads around them bedecked every black and white table.
Al Jolson and songs from the 1920s blared.
“Evie — your dress is sparkly. You look like a flapper!” Grace laughed.
“Oh, Grace — you too! I’m not sure I know how to do the Charleston!”
Grace grabbed Evie. They swirled and twirled on the dance floor, and within minutes, Evie mastered it!
Their feathered, bejeweled headbands shimmered.
A few men in Spats and Peaky Blinders set the New Year’s Eve Celebration in motion.
There was so much I wanted to include in this article but it was impossible.
I did some reading and found that there are Great Gatsby New Year’s Eve Celebrations that take place all over the states!
