Happy New Year

[Anita]

Happy New Year from SoCal, home of the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl. Watching the Parade and the Rose Bowl football game is an American tradition.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia, an American tradition of dropping objects on New Year's Eve. Check out some of the objects dropped by state! https://en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_obj...n_New_Y...

These are for you Roger. Brooksville, Florida: A 200-pound tangerine was dropped 40 feet during the countdown to midnight until 2009.[3][4][5] The tangerine dropped was an emblem of the citrus industry that once thrived in Brooksville.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida: A ball is dropped.[6]
Key West, Florida (Sloppy Joe's Bar): The Key West Conch Drop, where a six-foot Queen Conch Shell drops 20 feet to the top of the bar to usher in the New Year, is held annually for the island's official New Year celebrations.

Another tradition is signing into the forum to start the year off right !!
