"A Possum In Every Pot" E.W. Carswell(Everything You Wanted To Know About Possum's But were Scared to ask) Foreword
The idea for this collection of information about America's Magnificent Marsupial, the Opossum (hereinafter called Possum), was spawned to meet needs created by several possum festivals or auctions that have sprung up in the Southeastern United States. One of these was in Wausau, Florida, and another was in Arcadia, Louisiana. The Wausau festival began as Funday. It was a day (first Saturday in August each year) in which people came from far and near to join local residents in their fun-making activities. The day long program has been described as one of the region's -- maybe even the nation's -- most authentic folk festivals. It remains one of the most unrehearsed and spontaneous.

I{revision and republication is also an effort to direct renewed attention to the need for preserving Moss Hill United Methodist Church both for its pioneer architectural qualities and for its historic significance. |

Introduction
This is the third in a series of collections of my column from the Pensacola Journal. These columns have appeared at least twice a week for a decade on that newspaper's editorial pages. In writing them, I have attempted to impart to the editorial pages some distinctive Deep South folklore and historical flavor. |
