Port Clinton Ohio - Walleye Madness - Fireworks at Midnight
Although Port Clinton is a small town, its spirit is huge - especially
on New Year's Eve! For the past 12 years, thousands have braved the cold
and gathered for hours, in waiting for the"Madness at Midnight"
Walleye Drop. Port Clinton is the "Walleye Capital of the World,"
so what else would they do on New Year's Eve but drop a 20-foot, 600-pound
walleye from the sky at the stroke of Midnight! The small town USA energetically
promotes the celebration through the participation of local businesses.
Restaurants prepare Walleye specialties such as Walleye Chowder, Walleye
Sandwiches, Walleye Cinnamon Chips, and Walleye Popcorn. A local Winery
has even created a "Walleye White" wine to honor the city's
Walleye Fame. Recognizing the momentum of Port Clinton's "Madness
at Midnight," Wal-Mart has stepped forward as the national sponsor,
joining local and regional sponsors for the event.
Columbus - 11:30- 12:15am at Genoa Park sponsored by American Electric Power
