ACDI Welcomes New Year with Annual Ball Drop in Benton
In the heart of Arkansas, a vibrant celebration is set to kick off the new year in Benton, courtesy of Access Control Devices, Inc. (ACDI). This year marks the organization’s third annual New Year’s Eve ball drop, and the event promises to be bigger and better than ever.
A Comprehensive Program for All Ages
The ball drop is designed to be an all-family event, offering activities that cater to both kids and adults. A large kids’ zone will be set up, featuring an obstacle course, bouncy house, and bungee jump. For the adults, there will be live music by local bands such as Jettway Performance Bands and the Zac Dunlap Band, ensuring an upbeat and lively atmosphere throughout the evening.
Delicious Food and Beverages
Foodies will love the variety of options available. Ten food trucks will be on site, offering a diverse range of cuisines, while a beer and wine truck will provide additional choices. A percentage of all food and drink sales will directly support Bright Futures Benton, a community initiative aimed at providing resources to students within the Benton School District.
Entertainment Beyond the Ball Drop
The event is filled with entertainment beyond just the ball drop itself. Starting at 7:30 PM, the festivities kick off with music from local artists. Between sets and leading up to the midnight countdown, Crown Entertainment will keep the energy high with additional music and light shows. To cap off the night, there will be live music, a thrilling light show, a ball countdown, and fireworks at midnight.
Safety and Community Spirit
The safety of attendees is paramount. Police officers will be on patrol in and around the ACDI campus to ensure a secure environment for everyone. This event reflects the core of ACDI’s business model, which emphasizes community involvement. With Everett Buick-GMC serving as the presenting sponsor, local businesses are coming together to support various community initiatives.
