Tomorrow is Groundhog Day...again, as it is every February 2. We managed to get it in last year before you-know-what arrived here in the good ol' U.S.A..
And, Woodstock, Illinois, the site where the famous "Groundhog Day" movie starring Bill Murray was filmed, is again having their Groundhog Days Festival, but very much reduced in its offerings.
This will be the 28th anniversary of the movie.
There was no breakfast or dinner dance, chili cookoff or group movies shown (they are shown free on Sat. and Sun. at the Woodstock Theatre, site of the Alpine Theater in the movie).
However, tomorrow, famed Woodstock Willie will be pulled out of his tree stump and will make his fearless prognostication. This will take place at 7 am Tuesday in the historic Woodstock Square. Masks and social distancing will ne required.
(Until last March I had never heard of the term social distancing.)
Afterwards, a Toast to World Peace will take place on the outdoor patio of the Public House of Woodstock (where the bar scene was filmed in the movie.)
