Remembering Dick Clark
New Yorkers and visitors are invited to come to the Times Square Visitor Center and Museum (7th Ave between 46th & 47th Sts) to honor the legacy of entertainment legend Dick Clark. The Times Square Alliance has designated an area on its New Year’s Eve Confetti Wishing Wall where fans can share their memories and pay their respects to Dick Clark. These messages will be added to the one ton of confetti that will fall on Times Square at midnight on New Year’s Eve in 2013.
The Visitor Center will also have a photo montage with images from Dick Clark’s life and people are encouraged to leave flowers and mementos underneath a sign commemorating his legacy.
