Havre de Grace, MD-New Year's Duck Drop.

30 December 2008, 9:09 am

Times Square drops a Waterford Crystal Ball every New Years.  It is an event inspired by an old English tradition of dropping a giant ball every day at noon to help sailors and navigators mark the time. 

 

If you can't make it to New York for the holidays-try Havre de Grace, Maryland.  Known for it's manufacture of duck decoys; Havre de Grace will drop a giant, wooden, duck decoy from a 102 ft Susquehanna Hose Company ladder truck, at midnight, on New Years Eve. 

 

The enormous ten foot by fifteen foot masterpiece owes Havre de Grace resident Jean Hiss for it's creation. 

 

Bring your duck callers and cameras to celebrate as the feathery arrangement of lights wows celebrants as they ring in the New Year.
