Welcome to our Activity Guide!
GROUNDHOG DAY
“Most everyone is familiar with the February 2nd North American
tradition called ‘Groundhog Day’. If a certain rodent who spends most of
the year living in a cage in Pittsburgh emerges on the second day of
February and sees his shadow, back in the hole he goes and another six
weeks of winter is in store for us. However, if skies be cloudy when he
makes his exit, Spring is surely on it’s way. Every great story has it’s
variations. Some say that if the groundhog sees his shadow on February
2, he will return to sleep for four weeks, or it will rain on the seven
following Sundays.
First popularized in the US by a late 19th century western
Pennsylvania newspaper editor, the omen-bearing woodchuck,
‘Punxsutawney Phil’ remains famous. A group from Quarryville,
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania however proclaimed their town the only
authentic groundhog watchers’ haven. The Quarryville clan boasts the
largest contingent of ‘hog watchers’ and claim the highest rate (90%) of
successful prediction. Not to wallow in modesty, celebrants end each
February 2 in a local pub where they preform their club song (Sung to the
tune of ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’)
‘Let the scientific fakirs gnash their teeth and stamp with rage-
Let astrologers with crystals wipe such nonsense from the page-
We hail the King of Prophets, who’s the world’s outstanding Sage-
TODAY THE GROUNDHOG COMES!
Glory! Glory! To the Groundhog,
Glory! Glory! To the Groundhog,
Glory! Glory! To the Groundhog,
TODAY THE PROPHET COMES!’”
(From the ‘BOOK OF THE YEAR. A brief History of our Seasonal
Holidays’ by Anthony Aveni)
