WOODSTOCK – Mayor Brian Sager smiled as he read a specific line of the official declaration of Feb. 2, 2013, as Groundhog Day.

“Whereas the city of Woodstock is dedicated to doing things over and over and over until they are done right ...” Sager said at Tuesday night’s council meeting.

The movie that showcased the monotony of living the same day over and over will garner as big of a celebration as ever 20 years after it was released. Headlined by Woodstock Willie’s emergence from his winter slumber – at 7 a.m. Feb. 2 – festivities stretch eight days for the holiday that has become a claim to fame for Woodstock.
