Wiarton Willy Festival

A long winter can give you the blahhhs after awhile, and a great way to break up the winter is to join in on the Wiarton Willie festival which is held every groundhog weekend (Feb, 2nd). Groundhog day is when Wiarton Willie makes his annual predicition for an early spring or another 6 weeks of winter.

What will he say about 2008 ???


~ EARLY SPRING SAYS WILLIE ~

--------------------------------------------------------------

Spring is Here

Yippee it’s here, it’s finally here the sunshine’s on its way.
There was not a shadow to be found when Willie emerged today.
Springtime flowers and April showers and Mother Nature’s bounty
Will soon be seen all throughout the beautiful Bruce County

Baby animals, kids on bikes and buds on trees appear.
You can almost feel the fever as the springtime becomes near.
Water rushes over the falls, as the snow begins to fade
People are outside walking as new friendships are being made.

Now is the perfect time to try something that’s brand new.
For all you daring people of which there are a few.
So why not start your adventure with a visit to Willie’s home
There is lots to see and do and lots of room to roam.

Pack up the family, call some friends and head on up this way.
Spring is here, the time is right to plan your trip today.
Those of us who are fortunate to live here all year through
Will roll out the welcome wagon and be waiting here for you!
