WOODBURN, Ind. (WOWO): Sunday is Ground Hog Day and a fun way to celebrate the eventual coming of spring. Like the well-known celebration in Punxsutawney, Penn., – Woodburn has it's own budding tradition.
Beth Wood with Indiana Wild, who handles the groundhog Woodburn Wild Charles Winchester, says there is a nice sunny mild forecast ahead. But, that probably means “Chuck” will see his shadow – and with we'll have six more weeks of winter.
All eyes are on the groundhog for the 8 a.m. Sunday prediction ceremony in front of City Hall. But there's a full day evening of activities leading up to it Saturday night in Woodburn.
