Key West, Fla.
A conch, a wench and a drag queen
In Key West, eccentricity runs rampant. So it's no wonder that the quirky Key has enough energy to host three separate drops: an enormous fiberglass conch shell, a pirate wench and a drag queen. As the official symbol of the Florida Keys, the conch has been making its descent from the roof of Sloppy Joe's Bar since 1993. (The founder of the bar, incidentally, was the inspiration for Freddy in Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not.")

A few blocks away at the Schooner Wharf Bar, co-owner Evalena Worthington dons full pirate maiden attire and drops from the crow's nest of an antique ship. And lastly there's Sushi the drag queen, who brings in the New Year in a six-foot sparkling red, high-heel shoe at the Bourbon St. bar and guesthouse complex.

Hershey, Pa.

It's only appropriate that the country's best known chocolate town drops an over-sized homage to cocoa on New Year's Eve. Specifically a seven-foot tall, Hershey's Kiss made out of aluminum.

The event was founded by Mike Pries, Chairman, Derry Township Board of Supervisors and takes place on the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues. Seriously. The event draws over 10,000 people every year and includes live bands, fireworks, dancing groups and most excitingly, the Hershey Kissmobile.
