Villagers celebrated the new year together in 2007.
Villagers young and old gathered in the square to welcome the new year on Sunday night in what has become a tradition of the ball drop atop the Storm King Theatre. Mayor Ed Moulton counted down and the crowd of a couple of hundred revelers joined him as the glittery ball made its descent in the remaining seconds of the year.
People kissed and hugged their friends and family or greeted their neighbors with wishes for a happy new year. A few groups of people danced in the streets to the dance tunes of the 70s and 80s that blasted through the balmy night air.
Comments:
Thank you for covering the New Year's Ball dropping in the village. I believe it is one of the events that helps to make our community more cohesive and adds to the charm of our village. Lest we forget, the idea for the ball came from Nicky Correa. In the interest of full disclosure, my son, Chris Garti, fabricates the numbers each year as he did for the Times Square ball (see NY Times, 12/31/94)in his original career. Ann Garti
