I see that the famed mirror light ball in Times Square has been replaced with one that is touted to be twice as bright.
It would seem that more and more towns are having something drop to celebrate the New Year.
I read recently that Key West has a huge conch shell descend to the roof of Sloppy Joe's. New Orleans has a pot of gumbo come down on the Jax Brewery.
My dad's hometown of Mt. Olive, NC, has a pickle drop in honor of Mt. Olive Pickle Co. After all, it bills itself as the Pickle Capital of the US. Raleigh, NC, drops a giant acorn.
Bangor, Me, and Ocean City, MD, have a giant beach ball. Prairie du Chien, Wi, salutes with a carp and Port Clinton, Ohio has a walleye.
Pennsylvania leads the nation with 30 communities dropping stuff.
You can go to wikipedia and look under list of objects dropped on New Year's.
