what do they do to ring in the New Year where you are?
Pennsylvanians have a lot of funny traditions to mark the big event and maybe claim their fame with a 5 second spot on local TV...... Here's some of my faves..
In Dillsburg they drop a 300 pound Pickle....get it? Pickle...DILLsburg??
The city of Lebanon drops a 100 pound roll of bologna (Lebanon Bologna is a regional favorite lunch meat....think smokey and sweet). Gotta be local to get that one.
Hershey, home of America's favorite chocolate bar, they raise a giant Hershey Kiss...see what they did there???
Gettysburg is starting a new tradition with an oversized stove pipe hat....think Abraham Lincoln...
Mechanicsburg drops a wrench
Harrisburg, the state capital, does something (raises or lowers that is), with a giant strawberry....I still haven't figured that one out other than it happens next to the capital complex on an area called Strawberry Square. Why? Idunno!
Scranton drops a block of coal...maybe they should drop a box of Dunder-Mifflin paper instead?
There are a few other less imaginative entries but nevertheless, goofy local imitations of the long standing Time Square tradition. So what about where you are? Anything with beer?
