The Groundhog Show is held in Bonxutowne every year, but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Viewers couldn’t see and celebrate Phil in person: everything was virtual.

After his entourage spread the news, its members stayed at the venue for a while to take selfies and pictures with an elephant in a completely snowy scene. Around them There have been around 150 mockups that some badger fans have boughtDressed appropriately.

“Groundhog Day also teaches us that the monotony ends. The cycle will be broken.”

With so few media outlets, Phil manages to avoid the traditional series of interviews and presentations. Silence reigned over the event, which is one of many events changed by the pandemic.

“People were referring to Groundhog Day. Sometimes it feels like we are living on the same day over and over,” said a member of the entourage. “Groundhog Day also teaches us that the monotony ends. The cycle will be broken.”
