FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BRASSTOWN, N.C. – January 5, 2010. For Americans and New Year's Eve it’s a reason to do a lot of celebrating on the last day of the year which somehow compels us to gather around a pole or building and watch something drop from the sky (or get raised to the heavens) as we count down the seconds to the new year. As it is for those of us here in Brasstown, North Carolina, who watch a possum being lowered in a cage.

The night of the Possum Drop at Clay’s Corner brought lots of old and new friends into the community including a family from PA that had driven 13 hours just for the “drop”. This year, Overlook Properties, developer of Overlook Brasstown and Overlook Martins Creek, was one of the main sponsors.

“We enjoy being a part of our community and supporting efforts like the Possum Drop,” said, Blake Twedt, Developer. “It’s a part of our tradition.”

Festivities for the night included a womanless beauty contest, a New Year’s Blessing, a canon being shot off and fire works. This year Clay added a Hillbilly Rodeo which according to him entailed “a lot of bull.” The Barker Brothers started off the entire event at around 9:00 PM.
