Why stay up until midnight when you can celebrate the New Year at the sane hour of noon? At the Happy New Year, Charlie Brown! kid-friendly event at the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa on December 31, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., you can expect falling balloons and root beer floats instead of descending disco balls and champagne toasts. Admission is $5–$12 or free for museum members or children ages 3 and under. See schulzmuseum.org for more information.
