Groundhog Day
2006 in Oxford, Michigan was once again celebrated in memory of Noah John, Oxford’s beloved one-eyed
weather prognosticating groundhog. Noah passed away on April 22, 2002 as a
result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident in 1998. Before
Noah John died, he met several times with his llama friend Mr.
Prozac and instructed Zac in the art of weather prognosticating.
Zac was confident of
his abilities as he stepped up into Oxford’s Centennial Park
gazebo this year. When asked, he informed his handler Mark Harries,
that he DID NOT see his shadow and that in memory of Noah,
he is predicting an early spring! Zac and his friend Spittin Image,
remained on hand for a while after the ceremony to meet ceremony attendees.
It was a fun day
filled with entertainment and memories of Noah John.
