Groundhog Day, reimagined for the Ellijays.
Same shadow. Better atmosphere.
Make a Monday late lunch out of it — and kick off this year’s season with us.
This isn’t a reenactment — it’s a shared moment. An easygoing afternoon designed for gathering and lingering: food trucks serving late-lunch favorites, live music in the background, familiar faces, and that relaxed mountain rhythm that makes Mondays feel anything but ordinary.
At 2:00 PM, it’s time to wake Hibernation Hank.
And fair warning — a bear sleeps deep.
So bring your best voices. Bring your clappers. Bring your cheer.
When Hank finally wakes, he’ll take his shadow check and make the call: winter sticks around, or spring sneaks closer.
No costumes. Just a loud, joyful, proudly local ritual — and the unofficial start of the season, done the Ellijays way.
Come for the prediction.
Stay for the atmosphere.
Media welcome. Cameras encouraged.
21+ only. Please drink responsibly.
