Metal pin. There is a thin, yellow outer band around the pin that reads "10th ANNIVERSARY" on the top half and "A Celebration of the New Year" on the bottom. In the center of the pin is a black background with white snow and the words "FIRST / NIGHT / BURLINGTON / 1993". "FIRST" and "NIGHT" are written in block white letters, "BURLINGTON" in small yellow letters, and "1993" in black in a snow pile at the bottom of the pin. There is a yellow star above the word "FIRST".Context
First Night Burlington, "a sprawling variety show" that marked the new year for 35 years, was discontinued after the 2018 event after freezing temperatures reduced crowds and caused significant financial loss. Also the lead sponsor said it would reduce its future participation. First Night began in 1983 in Burlington. For the final First Night in 2018, "nearly 100 performers at 19 downtown venues performed music, dance, theater, storytelling and comedy from 11 a.m. Dec. 31 until a fireworks show in the early hours of Jan. 1."
