Westlake kicks off Bicentennial year

A fireworks display capped off Westlake's New Year's Eve Bicentennial Ball Drop.

The city of Westlake held a New Year’s celebration at Crocker Park on Dec. 31 to officially start its Bicentennial year. The family-friendly event included a juggler, musicians, games and a live simulcast with sister city Tralee, Ireland.

The festivities were aided by unseasonably warm weather and concluded with a ball drop and fireworks display.
