Brasstown

This New Years I got to cross a big event of my list: The Brasstown Possum Drop. I feel that somehow I am no officially a southerner. Every year on New Years eve the Citizens of Brasstown, NC drop a Possum at the stroke of midnight. It is a huge production complete with gospel singing, bluegrass, a redneck drag show, and hee-haw style comedy.

 

New event this year was covered by CBS Sunday Morning. Check out the video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIxGt-xn4mU. If you skip to :53 you can see me in the bottom corner taking a picture. I've gone national, baby :)
