WEST FAIRVIEW, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania town plans to nail their New Year's Eve and bicentennial celebrations by dropping some major hardware. The Sentinel reported West Fairview plans to drop a 7-foot-tall nail as the clock ticks down Wednesday. Local artists constructed the nail out of wood. The 50-pound symbol pays homage to the defunct Harrisburg Nail Works, a local mill that once employed many residents. Organizers say the event also will commemorate the town's 200th anniversary in 2015.
