ROANOKE (WSLS) - A Roanoke restoration company is putting together a star that will drop on New Years for the Big Lick Downtown Countdown.

Ghent Hill out of Wasena is building the star out of repurposed items. The star is made up of old lumber while the pulley system is made out of an old fan and chain link fence.

Once finished the star will be painted and lit up to look similar to our Roanoke star on Mill Mountain.
