I was born and raised right across the Tacony Palmyra bridge in South Jersey, 56 years, and even though I am from Jersey, I have a strong connection to Philadelphia, and I have always loved the Mummers and the parade! It dont get any better, and anybody that has never experienced the Mummers, or Philly, I feel bad for them because they are really missing out on something wonderful!! 👍PHILADELPHIA👍 ❤️
Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes preparation for the Mummers Parade. I have never seen this anywhere before and gives you an appreciation of how much hard work goes into having that 2 minutes in front of the judges. I heard a lot of great praises for Ferko String Band on the live broadcast from METV today. I marched in the Mummers Parade for a few years when I was younger in the Comics and it was such a great experience. One of the best memories of my life and yes Blackberry Brandy the drink of choice to stay warm. A few of those years were in frigid weather of around 20 degrees. Glad they got a nice day with calm winds for this years Mummers Parade. Good Luck to Ferko String Band!
