It was a chilly 10^ in Sun Prairie this morning as Jimmy arrived to Cannery Square.  At sunrise (7:11 am), Mayor Paul Esser listened to an active little groundhog tell him “I can’t see my shadow, so look for an early spring!”  The crowd was pleased and cheered.

Spring is on the way!

 COVID restrictions continue….. but we were back to an In-Person event at Cannery Square!  Missing the tall groundhog wood carving.  The weather was causing damage, so it was moved to a safe indoor space.  

Lucky number of “2’s” this year,
