Join us virtually from your special viewing place as we celebrate the coming of Spring with our resident puppet groundhog, Bowman Bill.

He has been predicting the weather for our area since 2002 and we are happy that he comes out to share his news with us today.

The full program consists of a story reading, a puppet song and a video of groundhog life provided by Valley Wildlife Care.

Stop by your local library to pick up an activity kit that includes more facts about groundhogs and the Groundhog Legend, games, craft projects and coloring pages.

Conclude your own celebration with a serving of vanilla ice cream. Wait to hear Bowman Bill's report and his weather prediction. Remember (according to legend) if he sees his shadow, he goes back into his burrow for six more weeks of Winter--and you can add chocolate topping to your ice cream.

Visit the library or comment on social media: Did Bowman Bill see his shadow? Are you excited with his prediction?
