Question Sardine drop in Eastport

From: The Biddleford Times:

New Year's Eve is happening in Eastport, Maine! The city will celebrate the New Year with the annual Sardine and Maple Leaf Drop from the Tides Institute and Museum of Art building at the heart of the downtown's new public space, Bank Square. The 'Sardine' will be lowered at midnight Eastern Time. A 'Maple Leaf' will be lowered at midnight Atlantic Time (or 11 p.m. eastern) as Eastport is poised just west of the Atlantic time zone with the Canadian islands of Deer Island and Campobello located just off shore in Passamaqoddy Bay. Last year a crowed of more than 300 revelers came to celebrate - twice - making it that much more fun.

Search me why they actually drop a salmon, but with all the snow, 300 people will be a huge turnout for Eastport! I hope someone from Eastport can give me the history of that one!!!

Me too! There was a picture in the Quaddy Tides of the Sardine and Maple Leaf being prepared for the drop. It's great that Eastport has found so many ways to celetrate its heritage at holiday times throughout the year. I look forward to participating in lots of things when I can be there full time.
