Greetings from Unadilla Bill
Unadilla became "Nebraska's Groundhog Capital" in 1988 and celebrates every year on the 1st Saturday of February with a parade and other festivities. Just 20 miles SE of Lincoln, with 300 friendly residents, Unadilla's unusual Main Street is on the Historic Register.
This is postmarked in 2013 with a 22 cent beaver stamp and a 13 cent raccoon stamp.

I passed by Unadilla, NE before but never stopped until I found out about Bill. Poor Bill got caught in someones garden and ended up stuffed. Since then he has become Nebraska's official weather forecasting groundhog. Unadilla even has a parade featuring Bill every year no matter what the weather! The population swells from 300 to 500 during that time.

Ha ha! I forgot about this card. I guess there was a big parade, starring Bill, yesterday.
I wasn't too far from Punxsutawney this morning. I bet it was crazy crowded to see Phil.
Phil and Bill. How cute is that?
Six more weeks of winter. Just what the country needs!
I was torn between posting it this year or next year and putting up a football card for today. After watching the Super Bowl game, I'm glad I went with your card.
That was quite a blow out, wasn't it?! I'm sure nobody was expecting Denver to have such a colossal collapse. That crazy first offensive play set the tone.
