this year’s celebration is just going to be a low key affair
how will you be welcoming in the new year?

That group looks dressed for the Dillsburg, PA celebration of New Year highlighted by the “Pickle Drop” at midnight. I will welcome midnight with some well earned sleep. I hope it is a new year in so many ways for all of us! Happy New year, Beth!

In searching online for information about the Pickle Sisters, I didn’t turn up any hits that weren’t from the last few years, and almost all of them on social media sites where people post things they’ve found on other similar sites. I’m wondering if somebody in recent times created the Pickle Sisters as a hoax.
Here’s a poem I found about them from earlier this year:

In any case, happy new year.
