Happy Groundhog Day! Here are some of the groundhogs in our area.
The people of Milltown New Jersey will not have a Groundhog Day today. Their beloved groundhog, Milltown Mel, died in 2021. Here he is.
There was not another groundhog to be found among the town's 7,000 residents. 1,000 of them always attended the groundhog festival. What to do? Import one from another state! Then they could have their beloved festival.
Unfortunately, they had to give the new groundhog to the state. There is a law about importing animals between states if they are animals that can get rabies. They are trying to get an exception to the law. Meanwhile, 5 years without the festival.
