Groundhog Day is holiday on February 2 in the United States and Canada. If the weather is cloudy during the emergence of a groundhog from its burrow on this day, it will leave that burrow, hoping that winter-like weather will soon end. If the day is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow and move back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for some more weeks. Modern customs of the holiday include celebrations where early morning festivals are held to watch the groundhog emerging from its burrow. In southeastern Pennsylvania, Groundhog Lodges celebrate the holiday with fersommlinge, it] social events in which food is served, speeches are made, and one or more skits are performed for entertainment. The Pennsylvania German dialect is the only language which is spoken at the event, and those who speak English pay a penalty, the penalty is usually in the form of a dime or a quarter per word spoken, it is put into a bowl in the center of the table. The largest Groundhog Day celebration is normally held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Groundhog Day is already a widely recognized and popular tradition that received worldwide attention as a result of the movie in the year 1993 of the same name, Groundhog Day, it was set in Punxsutawney and featured Punxsutawney Phil.
