It will never be confused with "New Year's Rockin' Eve," but for one small North Carolina town, the annual possum drop is one fine way to start the new year.
The families living in Brasstown, N.C., take part in festivities beginning two hours before midnight. Local church choirs belt out hymns and there's a tribute to war veterans. Clay Logan, the man behind the festivities, summed up the event: "good, clean, family fun."
"We didn't think too much into it," he said. "We figured a lot of other animals were already being used, like the groundhog, for other events, and we wanted to start our own tradition."

The only out come of this will be to secede from the union!
Involuntary secession where they are kicked out.I'd like to see what a 2000 lb pumpkin looked like if it was dropped from a hundred feet or so onto concrete.Gallagher would be proud.
