Ivy trained and ready for Groundhog Day prediction
Ivy, the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery’s resident groundhog, is pumped up and ready to predict.
The fur ball has been training for four weeks for her spin in the shadow, according to Kristy Creel, a museum spokeswoman.
If she sees her shadow, we are in for six more weeks of bad weather.
That has meant waking from a 22-hour nap, munching on two vegetarian biscuits with assorted fruits and vegetables, working out and snacking on sweet potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.
Boonshoft’s Groundhog Day celebration is 10 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 2, at 2600 DeWeese Parkway, Dayton.
All outdoor activities are free; indoor activities are included with regular admission, $8.50 adults; $7.50 seniors and children 2 to 12; children younger than 2 and members are free.
