Finally, news of what happened at the Clay County Possum Drop is out. The event has been disrupted in recent years by PETA protestors claiming possums are emotionally disturbed when they are put in a Plexiglas box and slowly lowered in front of a crowd of rednecks to ring in the New Year. Out of deference to the PETA folks, event organizer Clay Logan explained, “We ended up using a pot of possum stew.”
