Frozen Carp?

It took some researching but I found video (check out videos on the left) of the legend that is the annual New Years Carp Drop in Prarie du Chien, Wisconsin.  Thanks to my friend Gary…he brought me up to speed on this uniquely Wisconsin twist on New Years.  Yes…forget the glowing ball of New York City, or the lit peach of Atlanta…few traditions compare to the dropping of a frozen carp.  As Holli and I prepare for the trip back to Vancouver…I’m thinking we need to bring this tradition to Vancouver…maybe a frozen salmon, or a massive lit up Starbucks cup.
