Are you ready to find out if the groundhog sees his shadow to predict weather patterns for the upcoming year? This could be the place to go (though the groundhog isn't necessarily right or even on-site) and it's definitely the spot for an amazing, annual celebration called Groundhog Fever Festival.

In 2023 the event included a Whip Cream Wrangle, Flip Cup Fight, Honorary Mayor of Quincy Award, Thumb Wrestle Tussle for kids, The Back, Chuck Wood's Winter Prediction, Arm Wrestle-Mania, Facial Hair Frenzy and Chili Cook-off.

Quincy, Calif. celebrates Groundhog Fever Day at the Plumas County Courthouse grounds. The fever has taken the area by storm ever since Punxsutawney Phil's supposed cousin, "Chuck Wood" made his appearance at Quincy Courthouse steps several years at the ago on Groundhog Day. Chuck didn't see his shadow when he popped out at the Groundhog Fever Festival, thus signifying an early onset of spring. James Wilson and Johnny Mansell (left photo) trace Chuck's colorful history before the critter made his appearance.

Quincy Revival Committee launched the festival with much fervor. It includes a chili cook-off, Wine & Beer Tasting, a date auction, Shadow Shuffle, Mustache Contest, Firetruck Lift Rides, Ice Sculpting and a Kids Zone.
