My Apologies.. It is MUMMER and not hummer. Katlaughing was correct. They are clubs that originated in 17th. century Europe; once a year they put on elaborate costumes and visit one another's homes, etc. They are very active in Philadelphia and other cities. I live in Houston, and in near by Galveston, Texas, there is a Mummers club and they come out for the Madi Gras parade there. Thanks to all. Z....
