Celebrating the new year: Shamrock style!

Jim Perialis, Assoc. Director of Economic Development, and Roscommon Village Manager Ron Alden with a preview of the aluminum shamrock made for the New Year’s Eve festivities.

ROSCOMMON- Looking for something new and fun this New Year’s Eve? Join the downtown Roscommon celebration, “The Shamrock Drop” Dec. 31 from 9 p.m. to midnight. This event is presented by the Village of Roscommon and NuCraft Metal Products. Enjoy music and make memories at this FREE event!

Why a Shamrock? State Rep. Charles O’Malley, who had no ties to Roscommon, Michigan but was originally from Roscommon, Ireland suggested the name change.  With those Irish roots, became the idea for a “Shamrock” drop. 

NuCraft Metal Products of Roscommon did the design and build for the Shamrock.  The 6′ x 6′ aluminum piece was designed by Rory Gnatkowski of NuCraft, and fabricated by employee, Shawn McGee. After, the Nester Chevy body shop painted it “Shamrock Green”.

TwoRare Design and Martin Schilbe Tree Care will be providing the “bucket truck” to hoist the shamrock into the air.  

You won’t be hungry at this event as Made UP NORTH and BC Pizza plan to be open during the festivities. There will also be a food truck, chili cookoff, and fundraising events for Roscommon youth activities.
