We start off the night with a group of carolers from the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra standing in front of the First Presbyterian Church.
Next we head over to the First Lutheran Church and the wonderful magic of Bob Beatty.

The Master's Puppets then put on a show for the kids.
They had crafts and face painting for the kids.

The music of Paul Stephenson.
Upstairs it was Crew of the Half Moon - I have to say that they were my favorite group of the entire night!
Rose and Yush - some of the folks that help keep this event going year after year.
Off to Ameriserv to check out all the old Glosser and Penn Traffic Window Displays.

RJ with Marie - one of the hardest working people I know. Who along with others, are trying to make our community a better place to live.

Grabbing a quick snack of hot chocolate and cookies at the office of Rep. Bryan Barbin.
Time to finish off our look at Johnstown's 2015 First Night Celebration with a carriage ride. One thing I feel I must mention, simply because it really put a damper on our fun for a time. We were given the bums rush out of a locally owned eatery at 6pm - even though they were supposed to stay open till 8pm. If the food we ordered would have come on time - it wouldn't have been so much of a problem. It came late and when it did - some of it was cold. The young kid behind the counter also needs a lesson on customer etiquette! It will be a very long time before I step foot back in the place.
