New Years Ball Drops

In this Dec. 31, 2013 photo, the crowd cheers as a lighted cowboy boot drops to the roof of the Palace Saloon New Year's Eve on Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott, Ariz. Televised images every year of New York City’s glittery ball drop in Times Square have become inextricably linked with New Year’s Eve. But Times Square isn’t the only place to ring in the new year with an object dropping from the sky at midnight. (AP Photo/The Daily Courier, Les Stukenberg)
