Photos by Sue Suchyta Families bundled up and braved the cold to celebrate New Year's Eve at 9 p.m. in downtown Wyandotte with a live band and a ball drop on Biddle between Elm and Sycamore, followed by more band music and a tradition ball drop at midnight. Food trucks offered treats, local businesses welcomed customers and warming tents provided respite from the freezing temperatures. Above, Wyandotte's iconic clock tower was festooned in holiday lights near the crane supporting the brightly lit NYE ball. Below, John Chihan III (left), 2, and his brother Silas, 1, of Wyandotte were swaddled in snowsuits, with an extra blanket to help keep them warm.
