North America’s First New Years Celebration

St. Johns, Newfoundland is a place of firsts. It is the first shore seen in North America by travelers on the way over from Eurpoe. It is also the place where the sun first rises on a new day, and the place where New Years is celebrated for the first time (90 minutes before the Eastern time zone).

We speak with Dennis O’Keefe, deputy mayor of St. Johns’, about the first New Years in North America.
