Thank you to everyone who made Groundhog Day 2008 a huge success! About 30,000 visitors converged at Gobbler's Knob to hear Phil's forecast this year. Our organizers are already starting to make plans for the 2009 celebration. Groundhog Day will fall on a Monday next year, so why not plan on making a long weekend of it?
For now, we'll leave the details of the 2008 festivities posted on the site to give visitors a flavor of the kinds of events we feature in Punxsutawney. Hope to see you next year!
