Groundhog Day at Allan Brooks Nature Centre
On February 2nd at 10:15am the Allan Brooks Nature Centre's mascot, Okanagan Okie, will check for a shadow. Last year saw the arrival of our newest Groundhog Day weather prediction specialist, a yellow-bellied marmot. When Okie came out to check for a shadow, some were surprised to see a stuffed mascot. Marmots aren’t out of hibernation that early in the year, so the Allan Brooks Mascot will be trained, buffed, and ready for the day!
Come on up to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre to enjoy some hot chocolate, sit by the bonfire and meet others who want to see winter pack its bags. It’s a day to get outside, have fun, share some laughs and celebrate the coming of spring while enjoying the outdoors. ABNC plans to stream the prediction for those who cannot attend. Information will be available at ABNC.ca.
We want this family fun event to be about celebrating the changing of the seasons and celebrating each other. Winter can be long and we’re hoping we can get into the warmer climes soon.
