Originally Published 1 year ago — by MLive.com
Michigan's official groundhog, Woody the Woodchuck, predicts six more weeks of winter at the Howell Nature Center's 26th-annual Groundhog Day Celebration, with a nearly 70% accuracy rate in her predictions. Despite some hoping for an early spring, Woody's shadow sighting means winter isn't over yet. The event drew a large crowd, including a couple celebrating their 62nd anniversary, and featured games and a costume contest. The center's CEO emphasized the educational aspect of the event and the importance of coexisting with groundhogs.
