01.01.2019 New Years Day Special Issue

2nd Annual New Years Eve Giant Cheese Ball Drop  ​
So long 2018, welcome 2019!
This year’s giant cheese ball was double in size, carried over 75 cheese sticks, spotlighted against a foggy sky until the crowd-fueled countdown brought it back to Earth. Three custom steel drum fire pits kept the chill at bay while those gathered grew from a dozen or two at 11:30 PM until fireworks revealed a sea of familiar faces.

On a somber note: Hizzoner Mayor Dobosh greeted people warmly while promising to address lawmakers & dignitaries who missed their invitation last night at the upcoming Mayors Meeting Friday.
