HI THERE!!
You've found my page dedicated to my favorite little town, PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA!!
Punxsutawney is a great little town in western Pa. Its Just full of friendly people, and PHIL of course!! If you are unfamiliar with the legend (WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??) every year on Feb. 2nd huge crowds gather in Punxsy to await Phil's weather prediction. If he sees his shadow, it's 6 more weeks of winter!! (ARRRRRRGH!!) If there is no shadow, spring is just around the corner!!!
