Got Plans for New Year's Eve? Want to Count Down With a Giant Walleye?
 

In Port Clinton, Ohio, a giant walleye (fish) drops from the sky as they count down to the New Year. Really. I'm not making this up:

Does anyone know about other unusual New Year's Eve observations or celebrations taking place? Anything quirky going on in your neck of the woods?

I got this from a search of Fodor's, but nothing related to New Year's Eve:

I'll throw this out there again and see if anyone bites. Anyone?
I'm shameless.
And pathetic.

If only it weren't so dang cold.........

Sorry. Once you throw out Walleye Madness, the competition folds.

:D

I don't know of any unique NYE events, but in general, I hate the countdowns to Christmas/NYE. It puts so much pressure on the days in between. I don't like to see the days slip away.

It's still not too late... :D

google "quirky new year's eve celebrations" - in addition to walleye, sardines drop in Maine and a drag queen drops from a ruby slipper in Key West, FL...
