The Children’s Discovery Museum will partner with more than 12 other museums and science centers in Illinois and Indiana to continue its annual tradition of providing local children with a Noon Year’s Eve countdown.
“This is a very new thing for us to collaborate on this scale. All children's museums have something special they do for the daytime for New Year’s. For at least 15 years now, we've been doing Noon Year’s Eve,” said Beth Whisman, the Town of Normal’s executive director of cultural arts and the museum.
“It's usually just independent museums doing their own thing. What we found, with COVID, and being closed for almost 300 days, across at least the state of Illinois, there are just a lot of small museums that don't have the capacity for staff or revenue right now, to provide their families with our annual tradition.”
