Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania - Plywood Groundhog

The plywood groundhog is no longer standing. All that's left is the outline of wooden supports that once held it in place. Perhaps the greatest groundhog around will one day rise again, but for now, there's not much there. [Patrick, 07/23/2009]

[RA: We've read recent reports that the plywood groundhog is not gone for good, but in the shop for much-needed repairs. It will supposedly be back up sometime later this year....]

My friend and I went to Punxsutawney to see Phil and the town and when we went to Joe's Drive In, where the plywood groundhog is supposed to be, we were disappointed. The beams where the groundhog should be are there, but the groundhog itself is not. [Steph D., 07/10/2009]

[RA: It must have finally rotted and collapsed on itself. Plenty of Phils to see elsewhere in town, though...]

The large flat cutout rendering of Punxsutawney Phil was still standing at the west end of town when we checked this summer. Looking a little tattered, too. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 01/27/2008]
