didn't stay for the midnight ball drop but the 9 p.m. one! a family focused event in a close city features two ball drops one at 9 the other at midnight. there were live bands, a kid's tent and an adult tent with a dj and alchoholic drinks. it's fun to go out but we really don't need to be out all night. we saw midnight at home...a kiss and texts to our two kids and 2018 was here!
