Last night as the sun was setting, people began trickling into the lawn of the Main Street Depot. As the time went by, more and more arrived. Not knowing what they were really there for, curiosity got the best of them. Advertised as the Great Snowball Drop, all they were told was that hundreds of snowballs would fall from the sky and each would have prizes on them. At 5:45 p.m. a couple hundred people still milling about spotted two big firetrucks which parked on the grounds. "Ahhhhh, maybe this is how they are going to fall" a woman said to her child as they say the ladder go high into the air. From the very top of the ladder, we were honored to have our brave fireman drop hundreds of "snowballs" onto the crowd. These snowballs were of the ping-pong ball kind.
This was the first time that this event has been attempted in this manner in El Dorado. We were so excited to see how many people showed up. We have great plans to make it even bigger next year with a few Grand Prize snowballs. Thank you to all of the businesses who participated and the El Dorado Fire Dept for allowing it to happen.
Pictures to come!
