Vance County’s Satterwhite Point to Drop Catfish Sculpture for New Year’s Eve Festivities

In a new twist on New Year’s Eve celebrations, Vance County’s Satterwhite Point will be dropping a catfish sculpture to ring in the new year. This unique event will take place at Satterwhite Point Park on Kerr Lake, featuring a community festival with vendors, food trucks, family entertainment, and fireworks starting on New Year’s Eve 2024.
