The Eastport Sardine and Maple Leaf Drop

Posted on 23:23 by blogger
I totally missed the fifth annual Sardine and Maple Leaf Drop in Eastport on New Year's Eve.
The first drop will be the Canadian maple leaf, to honor Eastport’s Canadian neighbors. The giant sardine will be dropped at midnight — a nod to the area’s historic sardine fishing and canning past. [Link]
Fortunately, there's YouTube. The good stuff starts at 1:10.
