Welcome in 2012 Mountain Style at the Possum Drop in Brasstown, NC! No we don’t drop a big ball or a peach - its a Possum. This year's festivities to welcome in the New Year will start at 9:30 pm and will last until the Possum is lowered at midnight and then the fireworks display begins as we’ll usher in 2012.

Last year Bill Geist from the CBS television show Sunday Morning was there at Clay’s Corner filming so take a peak at this video from the 2011 Possum Drop. You see, Clay Logan, owner of Clay’s Corner and originator and creative director of the Annual Possum Drop is pretty famous in these parts.

Folks from near and far have been making their way to the small community of Brasstown, NC, population of about 250, to attend the Possum Queen contest of local manly-men dressed up like women, local singing and the official lower of the possum at midnight. When the weather is good you could see a crowd of about 3,000 here to celebrate. But don’t worry folks, like Clay says "It's a lot of good clean family fun. No alcohol," and "We advertise it as the only New Year's party you'll remember the next day no matter how much fun you had." It will be one New Year celebration you won't soon forget!
