COLD for SIX MORE WEEKS!

It wasn’t a big surprise on a very cold and sunny morning in Sun Prairie to hear the news... six more weeks of winter!!!

Mayor kept a safe distance from Jimmy...

Jimmy checks in on Jimmy

New this year?  A BALLOON Jimmy!!!

It’s OFFICIAL!  Six more weeks of winter.

Look at these other fun photos from the day!

Believe it or not, this is a CAKE!  Carl’s Cake on Market Street does amazing work, this is the best I’ve ever seen!  After a couple hours of photo opportunities, it was served and it was delicious!

Barbara offered a HOPE of spring... the gentleman on the right is Charlie and today is his 90th birthday!  He drove himself to the event from a community about 25 minutes away!

Go Charlie, Go!

Groundhog Day Eve

We’ve had every type of weather in just the past few days... Sunny, warm (almost 50), clouds, and the bitter cold has returned.  Not to be dissuaded, Sun Prairie and surrounding area citizens are putting on layers and will be out to greet Jimmy tomorrow!

Market Street Diner posted a photo of their treats... and I’ll be in line to pick some up!

How about making a delicious Groundhog shaped meatloaf for dinner tomorrow?

Yummmmm!

Sun Prairie is Getting Ready!

 It's just over a week away!!!  MY BIG DAY!!!

My friends Katie & Jane went shopping in Downtown Sun Prairie yesterday - What fun to see displays of me all over the place!  Katie had to add MORE things to her groundhog collection - and believes she has the largest collection in the world.  Not sure, but she might be right...  here are some of her things:

The library of books is still at home, but the office is all set up to impress visitors!  And you know what else?  Looking at all these Groundhogs makes Katie and everyone who sees them SMILE!

2018!!!

Put the holidays to rest... it's time for ***ME***!

Sun Prairie is gearing up for my prognostication - Meet us at Cannery Square on Friday, February 2 just before sunrise!  I'll be there along with my loyal following and city officials to give my prediction for Early Spring or Six More Weeks of Winter!  Just to warn you - Wisconsin has been cold, but not too much snow so far... This is going to be a tricky prognostication!
