"'Countdown to 12' has become a true Long Island tradition," notes LICM President Erika Floreska. "We’re delighted to offer families all the excitement associated with the year-end celebration with the simple substitution of ‘mid-day’ instead of ‘midnight.'"
Sponsored by Bank of America, the "Countdown to 12" was started in 2005 and quickly became a popular alternative for families.
