Discover what Groundhog Day is all about when you meet our guest of honor, a five-foot tall groundhog! Learn what it means when the groundhog sees its shadow, hear the secrets of its amazing winter life, and step outdoors to visit its home. Dress warmly for the weather. Then make your own groundhog shadow puppet while sipping hot chocolate indoors.
