Mummers Parade tomorrow
The Mummers strut right down Broad Street, just a block from my home tomorrow. I'm looking forward to participating in the festivities. We all know what Mummers are, right?

Now George, tsk tsk, I wanted everyone to do their own research. I was shocked the first time I learned that most the country didn't care about the Mummers. It's such a big deal in Philadelphia, I always assumed it was a nationally televised parade.
This website has a good description of the Mummers' general history, and a FAQ page.
Here are two clips that give you a feel for the Mummers, if you've never been. But seeing the hokiness on screen doesn't compare to the fun of actually being there.
Happy New Year, all!

Thanks, George. There was a rain delay this morning, but the music down the street started up about an hour ago. I'm off to get liquored up before the string bands get started.George wrote:Enjoy the parade, Rose.
