Happy New Year

Communities where I live will mark News Year's Eve by raising or lowering various items. Below I listed a county-by-county look at some of the bizarre items that will be getting dropped or pulled up on New Year's Eve in small towns around my area!

LANCASTER COUNTY – Akron, shoe; Elizabethtown, M&M; Manheim, ball; Reamstown, barrel
DAUPHIN COUNTY – Hershey, kiss; Hummelstown, lollipop; Middletown, orb
LEBANON COUNTY – Cleona, pretzel; Palmyra, shoe; Richland, cigar
YORK COUNTY -- Dillsburg, pickle; Hallam, shoe; Red Lion, cigar
CUMBERLAND COUNTY – Carlisle, car; Mechanicsburg, wrench; Shippensburg, anchor
PERRY COUNTY – Blain, cow; Duncannon, sled; Liverpool, canal boat


Here's Mr Pickle being hand dropped into a pickle barrel on New Years Eve in Dillersburg PA
I went to this one year and had lots of fun! Can't get any more kitschy then watching a big pickle drop! haha

Happy New Year Everyone!
