Punxsutawney, PA
Groundhog Day
The area was full of these little critters and on February 2, 1886, the local newspaper declared it “Groundhog Day” and this community has been celebrating the event ever since. The weather forecasting by the groundhog dates back to an Old Dutch legend. W.O. Smith, owner of the local newspaper and a U.S. Congressman, kept the event alive. Through radio and television, the town and the event have become famous throughout the world!
