Whelan Woody predicts early spring
Saskatchewan’s unofficial groundhog is predicting an early spring.
Whelan Woody lives at Whelan Bay, north of Candle Lake.
“And he also added something different this year; he’s saying that the Saskatchewan Roughriders are going to have a much better season,” said Woody’s handler, Shanno Lidster.
Woody is not your typical groundhog. He does not sleep in the ground, but rather in the comforts of the home of Lidster and her husband, Richard Burton.
