J.T. Davis knows the secret to entertaining a crowd. “Keep it going.”

Heeding his own advice, Davis kept the party rolling at the first Taylor County “Rocking New Year’s Eve” celebration held Saturday, Dec. 31, at Rosehead Park.

The evening began with a formal ceremony dedicating Rosehead Park, the city’s “crown jewel of parks” and ramped up to a night filled with laughter and sheer fun.
