A Wisconsin Community’s Claim as Groundhog Capital

It’s that time of year when we pay attention to groundhogs.

Will it be an early Spring or will there be eight more weeks of winter ? (The impact of global warming and media attention on groundhog predictions should be a future topic)

These days many communities have their own groundhogs predicting the weather. Staten Island, NY and St. Louis are but two of those places. And of course, there is Phil who has made a small Pennsylvania town famous.

There is, however, one community in Wisconsin that not only has a groundhog, but it claims to be “Groundhog Capital of the World”. Needless to say this does not sit well with some elsewhere - especially Phil’s hometown in Pennsylvania.

We speak with Sarah Vitale from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin to get their take on this claim.
