Wednesday, February 2nd is Woodchuck Day in Vermont!

For a few years now, folks throughout Vermont have been holding various Woodchuck Day celebrations on February 2^nd – the most notable being the WDEV Woodchuck Day Competition and live broadcast at Rusty Parker Memorial Park in Waterbury and Woodchuck Cider events at Vermont ski areas and restaurants.  Groundhogs some places, but Woodchucks in Vermont – where we do what we want!  Because in Vermont, a woodchuck is a hearty Vermonter, a Vermont made hard cider, and an animal sometimes referred to as the groundhog. 

So, folks at WDEV, Woodchuck Cider, Ski Vermont, and a collection of Vermont ski resorts and Vermont restaurants have joined together to help make Woodchuck Day the official holiday celebrated in Vermont on February 2^nd!  We’re hoping additional Vermont media will come on board and help us spread the word to all Vermonters – February 2^nd is Woodchuck Day in Vermont!  And, as legend goes, the woodchuck will look for his shadow – and we’re rooting for six more weeks of great skiing and riding in the state that owns winter in its original state!

Woodchuck Day Celebrations will be taking place beginning this weekend and running through next. A complete list of events is available at http://www.woodchuck.com/dev/event/woodchuck-day-events.html.
