Groundlhog Day Prognostication

Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation is thrilled to welcome the community to our Annual Groundhog Day Prognostication Event on Monday, February 2, 2026, a cherished winter tradition celebrating wildlife, education, and a little seasonal fun.

Acorn Acres’ beloved ambassador animals Elliott the Groundhog and his little sister Lilly will deliver their official 2026 winter prognostication using Acorn Acres’ signature “snack method.” Instead of shadows, Elliott and Lilly choose between carefully prepared snacks, each symbolizing either an early spring or six more weeks of winter. Their choice determines the forecast and never fails to delight the crowd.
