“Celebrate Groundhog Day with a bunch of activities, some Internet exploration, and a variety of groundhog games. Fun for all ages! Included: Three Internet teaching masters. When the first settlers arrived in the area known today as Punxsutawney (Pennsylvania) — about 80 miles northeast of Pittsburgh — they brought with them from Europe a centuries-old tradition known as Candlemas Day. On Candlemas Day, clergy would bless candles and distribute them to the people.”(more)
