Science Central counts down at noon

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Science Central held their 13th Countdown to Noon on Monday for those families who may not be planning to stay up until midnight.

The event featured a variety of activities and science demonstrations for families and children which were focused on traditional New Year's Eve activities.

On hand during the festivities were Miss 3 Rivers Festival, Miss 3 Rivers Festival Teen, and the 3 Rivers Festival Tiara Princess.
