Jan. 29, 2022. 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Groundhog Day is celebrated every February 2 and legend has it that if the curious critter sees its shadow, we'll have six more weeks of winter. However, if no shadow is spotted, spring will arrive early. Celebrate this tradition early by meeting Sweet Pea, an educational ambassador from AWARE, our local wildlife rehabilitation group. Sweet Pea will be onsite from 2 p.m.-3 p.m. After a story with Sweet Pea, play groundhog games and have some fun learning more about this wise and sensible animal. No fancy dress required for this gala, just dress for the weather as the program will be held outside.
