On the Eve of New Year's Eve

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there's reason for concern about whether or not, at the stroke of midnight, we in Hudson will be able to ring out the old year and ring in the new.

Sometime last week, the clock in the steeple of the First Presbyterian Church stopped, its hands showing quarter past one. The clock in the steeple of the First Presbyterian Church is the official city clock, a tradition that started in 1802, when the First Presbyterian Church was located at Second and Partition streets, so when this clock stops it's kind of a big deal for many. The question is: Will the clock be running again in time to ring in 2019?
