Groundhog Day – February 2
On February 2nd, each year, a groundhog awakens from a long winter’s nap, goes outside of his den to see if he sees his shadow. Legend has it, if he sees his shadow he runs back into his den to continue his nap because Spring is still six weeks away. If he doesn’t see his shadow, he will play outside for a bit because Spring will soon be on its way!
