WJAC-TV is reporting that several thousand
individuals definately headed onto
Philadelphia St. in Indiana in
the middle of the night
and lit a number of fires.
Sounds like a Super Bowl celebration
got out of hand.
My contacts report calm but
because of the events overnight
it would be a bad place to try and
party today.

Avoid Indiana
While Punxsutawney is the place
to be this morning, Indiana PA
is definitely NOT the place to
celebrate and I strongly
recommend avoiding the
downtown area.
While I am 30+ miles away
at the Knob and downtown today,
so I haven't seen this in person,
TV stations in the region are
reporting that thousands
of rowdies have been giving
cops a hard time, setting fires
in college town Indiana.
No sign of Harvey the Pooka
who, along with favorite son
Elwood P. Dowd (Jimmy
Stewart) once put Indiana
on the map as the perfect
example of small town America,
a place rapidly being usurped by
Punxsutawney.

Phil Sees Shadow More Winter?
Despite heavy overcast with
light snow, Phil somehow
saw his shadow and thereby
predicted six more weeks of
Winter.
Of course GHD is set close
to mid-Winter.

Big Crowd Greets Phil
Well GHD is big at the Knob
this morning with a LOT of people
attending this year's celebration,
possibly in part because of the
big Super Bowl win, but a party
is a party and Punxsutawney is crowded today.

nothing seems to be going on this year
I'm really sorry to put this out but I am a journalist and
personally, I'd skip Punxsutawney entirely this year.
Most of the "events" listed are crap and most of the
sponsored "happenings" are little more than
advertisements for fast food.
I'm staying home and watching the 10 seconds of Phil
on TV and the rest of the day watching the super bowl
at home or possibly on a sports bar.
As far as groundhog day goes, it hasn't been worth
attending for several years. I kept hoping it would
recover and sincerely hope the
CoC turns this around but downtown is dead and
GHD is dying.
GHD used to be a LOT of fun.
Punxy is a nice small town, a wonderful place to live,
but all it really offers on GHD NOW is a place for a few
old folks to show their kids and a few
drunken college kids to get faced and the town has
been cracking down on that so much it really isn't much
fun unless you are under 10 or over 25.
I remember when tens of thousands showed up- it was a fun party
and also, more recently when you could sit in Barkely
Sq. and not see anyone walk by for 15 minutes.
Sorry, GHD is DEAD. I really, REALLY hope it gets revived someday.
Obviously, I'm not particularly popular in town these days.

GHD EVENTS
There are a few things to do if you show up on Friday, January 30
but most events begin on Saturday.
Start at Barclay Square in the center of Punxsutawney
and adjacent to the Groundhog Museum (Punxy Library)
also a few blocks from the community center where
you can crash for the night.
On Sunday you get the Super Bowl on a large screen
at the community center followed by
the movie Groundhog Day
