Saturday, Jan. 30th, I went to the "Groundhog Day" movie celebration in Woodstock, Illinois. I have been to this many times and will continue to go often as I have a lot of fun.
I was disappointed that the new restaurant where the Tip Top Cafe wasn't open, nor was the site of where Bill Murray stayed at the Cherry Street B&B. The new owners of the formerly private home had hoped to have renovations complete in time for Groundhog Day as they are going to turn it into an actual B&B. Oh well, gives me something new to do next year.
At 10, I went to the showing of the movie at the Woodstock Theatre which was the Alpine Theater in the movie. Always lots of laughter and even cheering when the place is in the two shots that featured it. This is a free movie.
Afterwards, we had the Chili Cook-Off at the Opera House, Pennsylvanian Hotel in the movie. This year, there were twelve entries, some of which featured some heat. Always a filling event, but, as usual, with crowd problems.
More to Come. --RoadDog
