You have to appreciate the tenacity of Todd Schall-Vess. As the creator of Richmond’s New Years Ball, he’s been fighting to keep the tradition going for the city. Everyone told him it couldn’t be done; it was a liability hot potato. We got a call from him earlier this weekend explaining the situation and immediately got involved. Carytown New Years Eve has been a huge homegrown success but with this years complications, it was dead in the water.
“Everyone was telling me to wait for next year when I hadn’t given up on this year. It was frustrating.”
Lucky for Richmond, the good people at Hardywood gladly accepted the challenge. Tonight a Richmond tradition continues at Hardywood starting at 9 and the ball will rise again at midnight. Hope to see everyone there!
