Sounds like a lot of fun! Here is a YouTube video if you would like to get a closer look.
I had the pleasure several years ago, to tour the Waterford Crystal plant where the Times Square Ball is made. They actually had a replica of the ball there for us to see up close. It is incredible to see the skill and craftsmanship that goes into it. I wish someday I will get the opportunity to see the ball drop from Times Square. Until then, I will have to enjoy apps like this.
It has been a wild ride for me this year. I wish for you and yours all the best and a Happy New Year!!!!
