My annual "Do you know what a Mummer is" ( without cheating ) poll?

[Papa Deuce]

No cheating..... do you know?

 

[Disneyland1084]

I don't know.

 

[DisneyBlonde]

Yes! I just married a Jersey boy. I have known what a Mummer is for about 2 years.

 

[MagicalMom]

Sure do.

 

[DAISY DUCK FAN!]

that having grown up where I have and where I still live, that I possess an extremely good idea what a Mummer is.

 

[luvmydogs]

Born and raised in Allentown, so I sure do.

 

[buzzlady]

Yes, absolutely!

 

[MScott1851]

Is it a clown guy that walks around balancing oranges on a cane and gives them to people on New Years? I don't know why I remember that, I just do. Is he dressed up and has a mask or paint? That sounds like a bad dream, doesn't it?

 

[goofygirl]

Of course I do!

I've even been to the museum on 2nd Street.

 

[Tiggeroo]

absolutely my grandfather and most of my uncles were mummers. Also I had an aunt with a house on two street where we'd go every year. Mummers are fun but mummers on two street are fun squared.

My worst nightmare!

[Philagoofy]

Oh, dem golden slippers....

 

[Tiggeroo]

my grandfather nearly got arrested for stealing a mounted policeman's bully club on two street after the parade. And we were kids when we went there and the adults were constantly telling us to close our eyes or sometimes they'd make us go back to the house.

 

[Pam]

Yep, I do!

 

[hentob]

Just a little north of you--So me too!

I love the Mummers.
