A DOUBLE HEADER.
Living in Eastport affords us the opportunity to celebrate New Year's Eve twice; once at eleven o'clock when the red maple leaf drops signifying Canada's new year and again at midnight when the copper clad sardine drops to announce the arrival of the new year on Moose Island. The local band which hovers inside the Tides Institute until a few minutes before each drop comes out onto Bank Square and plays the required music - Oh Canada for the Canadians and Auld Lang Syne for us Eastporters. It was wicked cold with a wind that could cut your face, but we braved the elements with the faithful others to be part of a very unique experience that happens only once a year and only here.
