Millions of people will visit Groundhog.org to celebrate and participate in the revelry. One free feature on Groundhog.org is the ability to send a Groundhog Day eCard.

Groundhog eCards are a perfect way to spread cheer during the doldrums of winter. They are great for anyone who loves the weather or enjoys quirky holidays. eCards also offer an eco-friendly way for teachers to educate their class about the history and folklore of Groundhog Day.
Punchbowl founder & CEO, Matt Douglas, has his own nostalgic ties to the holiday. In 1997, he drove twelve hours to Punxsutawney, PA to partake in the Groundhog Day festivities. The trip resulted in entrance to the "Inner Circle," an article on the front page of newspapers around the country, and the birth of a family tradition -- an annual Groundhog Day party.
