Geocache Description:

Groundhog Day v.50

February 2, 1963 was your average Saturday. Of course it was Groundhog Day, but other than that not a whole lot was going on.

The world record for the pole vault was broken by Pentti Nikula of Finland, after having been held by a succession of Americans for almost 35 years. Nikula cleared the bar at 16 feet, 8¾ inches using a fiberglass pole.
The Beatles went on tour at the bottom of an eight-act bill headed by 16-year old singer Helen Shapiro.
Topeka was experiencing a sunny but blustery day. The wind was out of the north at 21 MPH. The high for the day was 43 degrees.
And for the first time, my mom and dad became, well, a mom and dad.

Let’s fast forward to February 2, 2013. Heck, let’s party!

I’d like to gather my family and friends to celebrate The Big Five-O. Whether or not the little furry guy sees his shadow, this little soiree will be held at the Blind ~~Groundhog~~ Tiger Brewery and Restaurant (in the atrium) from 5:00 pm until approximately 7:00 pm. Please post a "will attend" log if you think you might stop by so I can give the restaurant an accurate head count. I really hope to see you there!
