Midland better get ready because ringing in 2012 will be a historical event with the upcoming inaugural 'Midnight at Main' celebration Saturday. "Our team of about a dozen community members have been working nonstop for the past year to make this happen," said Selina Tisdale, executive director of Midland's Downtown Development Authority. "Everyone has really put their elbows into this to make it a party the Great Lakes Bay area will not forget." The outdoor party, which will be held along Main Street between Rodd and Gordon streets, will include plenty of festivities from family events and ice-sculpture contests to fireworks and live music. And of course, the big ball drop featuring an 8-foot 1,200-pound ball covered in more than 2,300 lights. The ball itself was a custom design that cost about $36,000 to produce. The event's major sponsor and designer, ZENTX Media Group of Freeland donated well over half of that cost in time, talent, labor and materials and the rest was covered by other area sponsors and ticket sales.
