Communities across the midstate are getting ready to ring in the New Year and they all have a unique way of doing so.
As soon as the clock strikes midnight, the strawberry will drop in front of the Harrisburg Hilton, but spread across the midstate, they're dropping everything from chocolate to pickles.
Every New Years Eve, the Orecchio's from New Jersey head to Hershey. "We come to the Hershey lodge and they do a big extravaganza and McKenzie our daughter has a great time."
McKenzie made an ornament as part of several activities at the Hershey Story. And while they're setting up the state, they're making hats for the band Boys Like Girls.
Then comes midnight, when the giant Kiss will rise. "The Kiss is huge, it's 7 feet and 300 pounds."
On Monday in Lebanon, they were practicing the bolognat touchdown, and yes it's real. "The value of the Balogna well exceeds $1000 and it's donated to the city for this event." Diana tells CBS 21 News.
About 300 people will join the DJ during the Weaver Bologna drop.
And this is the 20th year Dillsburg has been having a pickle drop and last year there were rumors that Mr. and Mrs. pickle were having a gherkins so can we expect to Gerking here Shirley? Yes we can. Lill was born on May 14.
And without a certain soup during the party, this holiday wouldn't be the same. "Every year when they hae their drop the pickle drop, they always have people soup Dill Pickle because it's Dillsburg."
All it takes is Chocolate Kisses and pickle soup to mark the end of the year, oh and lots of fireworks. "This style show is pretty intense if it's the New Year's Eve venue type of show."
Those fireworks will line up along Second Street in Mid-Town and it's sure to be a party. The Bands were setting up Monday afternoon, preparing as we say goodbye to 2012.
