The Pine Cone Drop in Flagstaff, An Arizona Holiday Tradition

Every New Year's Eve since 1999, the City of Flagstaff welcomes the New Year with a downtown block party. The celebrating crowd witnesses a silver Pine Cone 8 feet long and 4 feet wide slowly drop and reach ground twice: at 10PM and 12 AM.
 
Dec. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The people of Flagstaff, Arizona, have a unique way to ring in the New Year.
No Waterford Crystal glittering ball for these Westermers!  Instead,  citizens and guests get to watch a 70-pound silver pine cone (8 feet long by 4 feet wide) make an elegant descent to mark the midnight hour. The City of Flagstaff blocks off the streets  and the party begins about 8 p.m.

A rocking D.J. broadcasts great music from the Weatherford hotel balcony. At 10 p.m. (midnight Eastern Standard Time) and again at Midnight Arizona Time, the hotel drops the silver pine cone from their cupola to ring in the New Year. Also at midnight, the city’s fabulous fireworks display fill the sky.
