This Sunday is Groundhog Day and we sure hope Woodstock Willie does not see his shadow as we HAVE SURE HAD E-N-O-U-G-H WINTER THIS YEAR. Woodstock, Illinois, which was Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for the movie "Groundhog Day" has an annual festival to mark it and with our own Woodstock Willie.
Festivities already kicked off this past Sunday with the annual Lions Club pancake breakfast at the Moose Lodge (where the Groundhog Day Dance and Auction was held). Thursday, January 30th, we have the Awakening of the Groundhog at the Woodstock opera House (The Pennsylvanian Hotel) in the movie with fireworks at 6 PM. Afterwards there is a Groundhog Day trivia contest.
Then, Friday, January 31st the annual Groundhog Day Dinner Dance will be held at the Moose Lodge with a buffet and the Patio Daddy-Os providing the enetertainment.
The big day is Saturday. Up next.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
