What do you think of when you think of Groundhog Day? A groundhog being scared of his shadow? Or an immortal rodent who, every year on the same day, is worshiped by a group of men in top hats and thousands of people standing in freezing temperatures?

For years and years, no one has questioned Groundhog Day. It’s just simply what it is; the day where we figure out if spring is coming early or not. However, not many know about the interesting ceremony that is watched by many every year in Punxsutawney, PA. 

In order to break down the ceremony from the eyes of someone unknowing, I talked to my good friend Cade, who had no prior knowledge of the Groundhog Day ceremony. I also attempted a conversation with a member of the Groundhog Club “inner circle.”
