Kids of all ages are invited to Downtown Novato at noon on Dec. 31 to see what happens when 23,000 (celebrating 2023) small bouncy balls are dropped onto the street from a ladder truck 40 feet in the air. The event is free and kids will get a souvenir “hard hat” and can keep as many bouncy balls as their pockets and buckets can hold. For more information, visit visitnovato.com.
