Ringing in the new year will look just a little bit different in the middle of a pandemic. While Times Square is still setting up for its ball drop, the event is closed to the public. In Southwest Florida, many public events have been canceled because of the pandemic. That being said, most people say they will keep their gatherings small, not go out at all or they may just stay on their boats. All of this to make sure people are ringing in 2021 safely. We were able to ring in 2020 with hugs, kisses, loved ones and large gatherings. At this time last year, we had no idea that this pandemic was coming.
