Meet 'Lucky' the Carp

The first annual Droppin' of the Carp was held in 2002. after two local residents spent the year before in Savannah, Ga.. Where they lowered a giant styrophoam peach. "We decided we could have some sort of New Year's celebration here in the Midwest," Tom Nelson, one of the founders, said. "Since New York took the ball idea, a carp was the next local choice. Being on the river, it had to be a fish." The first year, a three foot carp was named Lucky after learning that Chinese people believe that eating Carp on New Years was lucky. Mike Valley, a local business man and owner of Valley Fish Market said, "Everybody always kisses it for good luck."
