Happy New Year, Weston! 2021 is likely the most anticipated New Year in decades. The pandemic brought us many challenges and changes, but ingenuity has brought about vaccines and light at the end of the tunnel. While continuing to exercise care and caution, we can start 2021 with fresh hope.
Be mindful that a curfew is in effect for Broward County through January 4 from midnight through 5 a.m. (1 a.m. until 5 a.m. on New Year's Eve). There is also a daily curfew in effect in Miami-Dade County from midnight to 6 a.m. (1 a.m. until 6 a.m. on New Year's Eve).
Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. |
