Apparently, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania Groundhog Day is a BIG deal. You see, in this town the residents rely on Punxsutawney Phil, the weather forecasting groundhog. According to their town folklore, when Punxsutawney Phil "sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring."
Not all states may rely this legend, but to this small town in Pennsylvania has a fun and festive way of honoring it.
Here is a link of lesson plans from the state's Groundhog Day website: Groundhog Day Lesson Plans
