Groundhog Bill On Fence

Posted on DateThursday, February 4, 2010 at 03:42PM

This Groundhog Day was anxiously met by Howell Farm staff as all searched for the appearance and reckoning of the farm's own groundhog, Bill. However Bill was decidedly on the fence and gave us no indication as to the weather forecast.

Despite Bill's lack of participation, staff enjoyed groundhog shaped cakes and cookies in his honor.

A stuffed imitation groundhog sat on a fence while an amateur roper practiced lassoing on his lunch break.

(No groundhogs were hurt or disturbed during this practice)
