You gotta' love ol' Punxy Phil. Now, if only the wily critter would only manage to not see his shadow for once... :)

Planning on taking in the festivities, eh? My advice is to get there as early as possible. Most seem to even make it an all night event by partying through midnight and then just making their way over to Gobbler's Knob before the big event. Good times!

Yeah, but I am going with some pretty seasoned veterans! They know the ins and out pretty good over there. Also, I will probably be suiting there too but we will see on that. Atleast as a squirrel I am a relative in Phils family. :) Will be spending a few days around town so should be okay and not miss out on anything.

Yeah, saw his track of times he saw his shadow as opposed to not and its not a great ratio. He really doesn't like being woken up I guess. XD

yea that looks about rite. hahaha. i lived there for a year.

This is super cute. The whole town worships rodents.

Yeah, it really is pretty cool!

They scawe me.

My connection with Groundhog Day etc.:

My BIRTHDAY is Feb 2 (1962)...will have to visit there someday

Oh, that's cool! You definitely got to visit there one day!

yeah someday...I looked up on google maps and found it's about a 2 hr drive from Pitt.--perhaps if I have time before or after the Con I could try...

Hopefully we'll have taught Scooter how to spell it by the time we reach Punxsutawney... lol (old Delaware Indian name, btw- "town of the sandflies")

you know Anthrocoon, they sell "I was born on Groundhog Day" shirts there.. and you might get to go up on stage, too...

the pics came out nice Scooter! :)

Well, that's not a great name. Town of sandflies? ewwwww. Also thanks. I have a few more I should put up but need time to get to that.

haha very cute^^

*giggle* Yay for all the groundhogs! ^.^

So, who all is going up to GHD 10?

That Squirrel in the center pic there is such an cutie

They have something like that in a couple towns here in Illinois. In DeKalb they have huskies to go along with the University's mascot, the NIU Huskies.

Yeah, throughout Southern Maryland we have birds that are all painted in different colors at all different locations (more of a county thing rather than town thing though).
