Message in a Confetti

Confetti ‘Flight Testing’ Conducted in Times Square

NEW YORK—Preparations for the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square are nearing completion.

An “air worthiness test” for the confetti that will fill the skies in Times Square on New Year’s Eve was carried out Monday morning. Times Square Alliance President Tim Tompkins and Countdown Entertainment president Jeffrey Straus were on hand to throw handfuls of the New Year’s Eve confetti from a second floor window in north Times Square.

After being deemed air-worthy the confetti will join the rest of the 3,000 pounds that is going to get tossed by hand from various buildings in Times Square at 12:00 a.m. on January 1.

This is the second year that some of the confetti will be personalized. The public can write their hopes, wishes, or thoughts on a piece of confetti and attach it to the New Year’s Eve Wishing Wall at the Times Square Information Center on Broadway (enter on 7th Avenue between 46th & 47th Streets). It will then be thrown with the other confetti on New Year’s Eve. Thoughts and wishes can also be submitted on the Times Square Alliance’s Web site.

Random personalized confetti pieces will be read at intervals to the crowd of revelers on New Year’s Eve by Raul de Molina (El Gordo y la Flaca), Anderson Cooper (anchor of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360 degrees”), Ryan Seacrest (“American Idol”), and Carson Daly (“Last Call with Carson Daly”).
