Q #3: On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday of Groundhog Day a day of hope that winter is over and springs be giving This tradition has been officially observed in the US since the 1800, and is believed to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear, fox, badger, or even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic meteorologist. Although other cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day for something similars the town of Punxsutawney. Pennyslyvania takes special pride in being home to the one true forecasting ground Prawny P At the tum of the twentieth century, townspeople formed the Punxsutawney Groundhog Cub to perpetuate the joy rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt a talent show, and a ball.  Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather forecasting groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his bow to look for his shadow if he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come, and Punxsutawney Phil goes back to bed.
