Thanks to all who put on the show. It's just another wonderful event which shows just how special the Village is, no matter the season.

The new ball is spectacular. Isn't it big and bright enough to drop along a pole on the roof, like was done a couple years ago? (Should be more controllable in the wind, too.)

But Bravo, and thanks, to all who made New Years Eve happen!

Oh, and thanks too to SKE#2 for the hard work they do on that big tree every year. It's a big job but a great sight -- truly the other half of the holiday magic in the Village.

Thanks once again to the Yannone's for this community service. What a great ball and great way to establish a new tradition! Looking forward to next year.

Huge thanks to the Yannones for borrowed 'bragging rights' - at the risk of exposing our "exclusive" village celebration I often tell people about the fun and fanfare and most times they can't quite believe it! It seems so natural that this would happen in the village. Thanks again for the great fun, and all within walking distance!
