A Groundhog Day Party is a good time to celebrate. Heh, any reason to party is a good one. Make it light and hardy and send simple invites with a groundhog on them. Decorations will be minimal and a few pictures of the furry little beast will do just fine. One fun activity for your Groundhog Party might be to read or have someone tell the story of the original groundhog and how this story came to this country from the German immigrants and an animal they called a hedgehog. Early settlers ate woodchucks or groundhogs as they are called today. One fun game might be to give everyone the word "groundhog" and see how many words they can make from this one word in a designated time period. Give out toy groundhogs as prizes and party favors. Although the menu will not include woodchuck stew, it could be more fun food like pizza or spaghetti with light salads. For dessert make little cup cakes with candy groundhogs on them.
