Uniquely American New Year's Celebrations

As we bid a fond adieu to 2012 and welcome the arrival 2013, I thought that this would be a great occasion to celebrate the New Year with some of the more unusual New Year's festivities from around the United States. And believe you me, there are some doozies out there. 

Through the use of my mastery of Google-Fu, I found some unique ways that Americans say goodbye to the Old Year and howdy to the New Year.

For Example...

• The Droppin' of the Carp - Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin  
• The Muskrat Dive - Princess Anne, Maryland
• Last Night Fayetteville (Hog Drop) - Fayetteville, Arkansas
• The Deuce of Clubs Drop - Show Low, Arizona

And last, but certainly not least, in my wife's hometown of Eastport, Maine (The Easternmost City in the USA):

• The Great Sardine Drop - This year end festival is an international event featuring the Maple Leaf Drop honoring the arrival of the New Year an hour earlier in the neighboring Canadian province of New Brunswick. 

How will you be celebrating the transition from 2012 to 2013? We'd love to know, so leave us a comment and tell us about your plans!

We'll see you in 2013!

Happy New Year!
