Following a long tradition beginning with Mark Radcliffe
in 1848,  the Peanut Man precedes the Carolers,
announcing their imminent arrival by handing
out 30 pounds of peanuts over the course of
the night.  Some say that receiving peanuts
from the Peanut Man brings good luck
for the following year.

Mike Frey assumed the role of the Carolers’ Peanut Man in 1972.
In 1981,  the Carolers made Mr. Frey an Honorary Caroler,  in
recognition of his faithful service.  For his fidelity, dedication,
and devotion to duty, and a long line of really good peanuts,
his fellow Carolers say,  “Thank you, Mike.”
