It's lowered by hand - very low tech. HA.<BR/><BR/>As far as the news media....last year the local newspaper (circulation 15,000) ran a story on the corn drop. It must have made an impact because just before midnight at least 5 extra pickup trucks drove up to join us and watch the show!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475380451527801666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12033578.post-1136175038393354392006-01-01T22:10:00.000-06:002006-01-01T22:10:00.000-06:00What a great alternative to the ball.

This is great, why haven't we heard of it before? Someone should notify CNN or some other media giant. No, that would ruin the community nature after all.

Having been born within spitting distance of one of the largest cities in the world, I made a conscious decision that it's wasn't how I wanted to live my life. So here we are.<BR/><BR/>And yes, we are a very tight knit community, but having said that there are some who prefer to keep to themselves, and that's OK too. We respect that. We are all very self sufficient but reserve the right to ask our neighbors for help!<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Suzanne, the farmers wifeSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475380451527801666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12033578.post-1136141383250229682006-01-01T12:49:00.000-06:002006-01-01T12:49:00.000-06:00I love the idea of a community being so close knit...I love the idea of a community being so close knit.
