⢠A rodent that “predicts” the weather? Not interested.
But a groundhog as a beer festival mascot? Sign me up.
There will be no worry of six more weeks of winter after the Youngstown Rotary’s third Groundhog Craft Beerfest (then again, this is northeast Ohio. Never say never). The event, which is normally held around the time that all eyes are on Punxsutawney Phil, is being moved to July 10 this year. And instead of being inside Stambaugh Auditorium, this year’s event will take place in the Stambaugh parking lot.
Punxsatawney Phil’s cousin, Youngsatowney Paul, will preside over the festivities, which will feature craft beer samples, food trucks and live entertainment.
