Happy Groundhog's Day, Woodchuck chucker's! Who remembers this movie from way back when? It just so happens, that this flick was filmed in a town near us- Woodstock, Illinois. Apparently, since Groundhog Day was made there, the town of Woodstock has featured a fun Groundhog's Day fest every year. When we heard of it, we decided it would be fun to visit, and it was!
We did opt out of being there by 7 am, to hear Woodstock Willie, as our local groundhog is named, prognosticate. After all, 6 degrees Fahrenheit is not really fun walking weather. But we did take a brief walk around town. Here are some of our photos for you.
Historic downtown Woodstock is a pretty place, with a lovely opera house (pictured), and cobblestone roads.
This guy was carving a groundhog from wood. Pretty cool!
A cute groundhog sign advertising some events.
I've been wanting to visit this bookstore for awhile, and was not disappointed. Cute and cozy, with a candy and ice cream shop inside.
Look closely at the books. They spell out Read Between The Lynes. Creative and cute!
Who's this cute little guy?
After getting home, the creative juices were flowing. We decided to create groundhogs with some sweets and sundries.
Ummm, they look like deranged seals, lol!! Kind of a pinterest fail! But yummy.
Hope you had a great Friday too. Happy Groundhog's Day!
