According to some ladies in the park where Jimmy the Groundhog was once located, Jimmy was cut down in the Fall of 2021 (late October or early November) because the tree was supposedly deteriorating. Not all of the folks of the town thought the decay was evident or significant. Rumor has it that Jimmy was restored/preserved and is now at the Lion's Club (which is not nearby).
