While searching around the other day for interesting New Year's Eve celebrations, I became aware of the famed Falmouth, Pennsylvania Goat Drop at the stroke of midnight each new year. It's actually a stuffed goat.
Falmouth, I came to know, is home to the world famous Falmouth Goat Race each September. The goat races are so famous, in fact, that Falmouth's sister city of Falmouth, England sends a delegation each year to attend the races.
If all of this news isn't exciting enough, factor in that the races are held just down river on the Susquehanna from Three-Mile Island, home of the near catastrophic nuclear meltdown some years back. With any luck, you and your goat may be glowing in the dark upon your return home from the races. You'll be just like all those racers living in the shadow of the Duke Nuclear Power Station on Lake Norman around Mooresville! Think of the electricity savings you'll accrue by not having to turn on your lights at night!
The thought has certainly occurred to me that either the Goat Drop or Goat Races or both could be ideal candidates for a live remote RR broadcast in the future. What do you folks think?
We could have Beach Music from Jack Walker on the banks of the Susquehanna and Reverend Stagger could baptize a few lost souls in the river. Just thinking out loud. What do you folks think? Pennsylvania is serious racing country.
The goat race organizers have an excellent website at

and there are also numerous videos posted documenting the races. Feel free to share your thoughts with Jeff.
