Cold temps didn’t keep away Asheville New Years Eve party goers

The Aloft hotel welcomes people with a happy new year sign.

Chilly night time temps didn’t keep the party goers at bay last night as libations flowed, DJs and bands performed, and people celebrated as the clock struck midnight in Asheville.

Revelers rang in the new year in style for Brother Wolf Animal Rescue’s masquerade fundraiser at Celine and Company. In typical Brother Wolf style, people were able to bid on art pieces and other items to benefit the efforts of the rescue.
