This Friday, February 2, 2024 is Groundhog Day! More than a classic Bill Murray film, this is the day that many here in Lancaster, PA wait for the groundhog to emerge from his burrow to see if he will spot his shadow or not – predicting whether we see another six weeks of winter or have an early spring.
While many locals swear by the prediction of Punxsutawney Phil, Pennsylvania’s original groundhog forecaster, there is actually a Groundhog festival closer to home you may not know about.
Manheim Township hosts their own Groundhog Day celebration at Stauffer Mansion on Lititz Pike! This year’s celebration begins at 7:00 am on Friday the 2nd and will include kids crafts, light refreshments, and of course a weather prediction. Click here for more info.
Are you hoping for more winter or an early spring?
