The Mummers are confident they'll be ready for New Years Day. On Saturday, the public got a sneak preview of the choreographed dance moves and high-energy music.
As Philadelphia knows, the Mummers are about much more than entertainment. "I think if you would go down to South Philadelphia you'd see just how important it is just for that neighborhood," said State Representative Bill Keller. "I believe it is one of the factors, one of the main factors, that have kept our neighborhood together and vibrant all these years."
Saturday night will be dedicated to putting the finishing touches on all the props and costumes as we finish off 2007, and the Mummers get ready to welcome in 2008.
