On this day in 1887, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania held its first Groundhog Day festival. It was the brainchild of local newspaper editor Clymer Freas, who sold a group of businessmen and groundhog hunters— known collectively as the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club— on the idea. The men trekked to a site called Gobbler's Knob, where the inaugural groundhog became the bearer of bad news when he saw his shadow. (from history.com)
