RUNNING OF THE BALLS? The way it works is; you can "adopt" a ball for $5 or 5 balls for $20. When the balls are released at the top of Main Street they are tracked down their route and the first ball through the shute will win it's owner a valuable prize, such as airline tickets and many other great donated prizes. There will be over 10 other prizes awarded for close finishers. (Watch the video below to see how it works).
