New Year's Eve Ball Drop- yooper style


One thing is for sure, yoopers have an ingeneously humorous sense of creativity as seen here in a picture of the actual ball that drops in Marquette Mi, every New Year's Eve. The ball is lowered manually, down four stories of one of the most historic buildings in Marquette, and at the strike of midnight, the New Year in illuminated numbers lights up at the top of the building facade. Be it rain, but most of the time snow, biting cold  and blizzard, thousands come out to spend their New Year's Eve here. A stiff wind with gusts approaching gale, and numerous snow squalls kept us in our toasty home last night. Cheers to all that ventured out. We were content to watch the New York ball drop on tv. Here's an interesting bit all about this year's beautiful Waterford Crystal ball. all about the New York New Year's ball 2010 . Happy New Year to all!
