Springfield

Mother Stewart’s Brewing Co., 102 West Columbia St., is filling in a missing piece on New Year’s Eve in Springfield.

The brewing company will host the first Springfield New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.

This event will feature an indoor ball drop, a wide selection of beers, a special cocktail and live music.

Kevin Loftis, one of the brewery’s founders, said, “It’s all about the experience. We want to elevate things in 2020.”

Two bands will perform, Freakquency and Subterranean, starting at 9 p.m. Freakquency does musical arrangements covering artists from Kings of Leon to Michael Jackson - along with original material. Subterranean is a jam rock quartet from Dayton.

The cover charge is $15 per person and included a midnight toast.
