What is a Cherry Drop? The event is described as similar to the Time Square New Year's countdown giant ball drop. All are invited to gather in Sister Bay to say farewell to 2023 at the 7th annual fm 106.9 the Lodge Cherry Drop™. The giant six-foot, 300-pound cherry adorned with lights will be suspended roughly 120 feet above Husby’s garage on December 31st as revelers celebrate with the Greatest Party Tunes of All Time at ground zero, on air, and online with fm 106.9 the Lodge.
