Mummers Parade Connection
I am a Big Supporter of the Mummers. I have a 7th Inning Strut every night on my show. But I am not just a supporter. I am also a Mummer!
I have been Strutting for decades and have strutted in all 5 Divisions!! I am a multiple-time First Prize Winner in The Handsome Costume Category and started as a Mummer at 5.
I was just recently inducted into the Mummers Hall of Fame as well!
All of this to say that this nomination means so much to the Mummer community.
Congrats to all!
