Millions of people celebrate New Years by watching the giant Crystal ball drop in Times Square. Not so for those in McDonough, Georgia.
Thousand gathered in the Georgia town on Wednesday evening to watch a giant chicken nugget drop into a vat of dipping sauce.
Huh? Now that’s different!
The two metre tall, 360 kilogram nugget is actually made of plaster and the vat is filled with syrup and food coloring making it look like a honey mustard dipping sauce.
The crowd was entertained by a fire-eating magician, bungee-jumping, a caricature artist and musicians.
The restaurant, Truett’s Grill, part of the Chick-fil-A chain, offered free chicken nuggets.
I wonder how they came up with that idea for New Years?

This weeks Theme is Drink
This is Grossman’s Tavern in Toronto:
It’s where we’d hang out every once in a while back in my college days.
Of course, it’s a bar, so when we’d hang out there we’d have ourselves a drink or two or three … You get the picture?
The bar didn’t always look so nice. They just had it painted a year or so ago. Trish and I, and my brother happened to be downtown last summer wandering around with the rest of my family as they shopped. We’d had enough so we stopped in for a drink. It’s still a dive inside!
We sat outside on the patio, and much to my amazement the side wall of the tavern has these great murals of musicians on the side:
Even though it’s a bit of dive inside it’s still a pretty cool place to check out. Drop in sometime if you’re in Toronto.
Hey, it’s St. Patrick’s Day today. Hmmm maybe we should go to Grossmans or some other Pub and have ourselves some green beer?
