Making of Groundhog Day
Why was Groundhog Day filmed in Woodstock, IL and not Punxsutawney, PA?
Come hear stories about the Making of Groundhog Day. Bob Hudgins was the Locations Manager and first brought Harold Ramis to Woodstock. His job was to be the go between the production crew, the local businesses and the City of Woodstock. Bob has been a fan favorite of our festivities for years as he comes back over and over and over again leading the Walking Tour to area film sites. This is your chance to sit warm and comfortable inside to hear more of the stories about how Woodstock was chosen, working with a groundhog, finding the B & B, finding homes for the cast, making snow and so much more.
