Happy New Year!

Farewell 2012!   Hello 2013! 
Many towns in our area lower an item during the count down to the New Year.  Hummelstown lowers a lollipop. York drops a white rose.  Harrisburg lowers a strawberry and Dillsburg has a "pickle drop".  In Mechanicsburg we have a Wrench Drop since our town was named for a settlement of mechanics who repaired Conestoga wagons in the early 1800's.  The celebration, held on downtown Main Street was originated by local Mechanicsburg Area School District graduate Sheldon Rodgers for his Eagle Scout project.
Happy New Year!

    That's a neat idea! I don't think our town drops anything. Maybe it is time to introduce the idea!

    Happy New Year to you too. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your mother's book in 2012.
