Back to January 29th for the Woodstock, Illinois, Groundhog Festival.
I saw several folks heeding MTV and walking around in shorts, despite the wintry temperatures and one was an adult about my advanced age. Who'd have believed that?
There had been Groundhog stories in the Home State Bank, the old Woodstock post office (which was used a s a holding area for extras in the movie.
I then went over to the Woodstock Square Mall where I saw there was a new Museum of the Groundhog with free admission, open Sat to Tuesday from 10 to 4. They didn't have much but are building their collection. Not much on the movie, though, mostly on the animal itself.
There were several book sales going on and I ended up buying about five World War II books. Plus, on the second floor, they had folk groups taking turns entertaining us.
Not a bad place to visit.
