A Groundhog named Unadilla Bill

Greetings from Unadilla Bill

Unadilla became "Nebraska's Groundhog Capital" in 1988 and celebrates every year on the 1st Saturday of February with a parade and other festivities.  Just 20 miles SE of Lincoln, with 300 friendly residents, Unadilla's unusual Main Street is on the Historic Register.

The sender writes:

I passed by Unadilla, NE before but never stopped until I found out about Bill.  Poor Bill got caught in someones garden and ended up stuffed.  Since then he has become Nebraska's official weather forecasting groundhog.  Unadilla even has a parade featuring Bill every year no matter what the weather!  The population swells from 300 to 500 during that time.
