December 31st, 2009 Prairie du Chien
The first annual Droppin' of the Carp was held in 2002 after Tom Nelson and his wife, Cathie, watched locals in Savannah, Ga. lower a giant styrofoam peach. "We decided we could have some sort of New Year's celebration here in the Midwest," Nelson said. "Being on the river, it had to be a fish." They organize it every year and expect to draw as many as 2,000 - people, that is. All the ceremonial carp are named Lucky because eating carp on New Year's brings good luck. 9PM -door prizes, bonfires lit, hot chocolate, popcorn, a Carp drop King and Queen, and a football game. Countdown at 11:59PM. St. Feriole Island, Blackhawk Ave.
