We wimped out this New Year's Eve and attended the Mushroom Raising at 9 p.m. rather than the Mushroom Drop at midnight. A lot of people had the same idea: in fact, the earlier celebration was so well attended that we failed to see some family members who turned out to be there. Before the lighted mushroom was ceremoniously hoisted up, we watched a juggler and some hula-hoop twirlers performing at State and Union Streets and chatted with some Kennett Square police officers who were on duty.
The Funsters were just setting up their equipment on a stage in the middle of South Union Street. I'm told that later in the evening the band did a rousing version of "Love Train" that sparked an impromptu love train among the crowd.
