POSSUM DROP
I was listening to NPR a few days before New Years eve. They were reporting about an event held in the small town of Gladstone, somewhere in the east coast between Virginia ad Florida.
The event held on New Years eve is called The Possum Drop. In stead of dropping a lighted ball on the count down they lower a possum in a lighted box.
This went well enough but the Sheriff got tired of getting complaints about animal abuse. The complaint being that this was cruel to lower the shy animal amidst bright lights.
He cancelled the possum drop in favor of a wrestling match (wrasslin') and a dance.
All righty then, I feel the sheriff needs to explore the possibilities of the celebration a bit further. Assemble a committed'
Hold a possum naming contest.
Hold a possum ball design contest, award prizes.
Hold a dance with Blue Grass and a fiddle contest.
I say, upon reflection, just might have to expand this event for two or three days.
