Yes, there is such thing as a 'showbiz groundhog.' It costs seven grand.

Back in December, the staff at Dacha, the beer garden in Navy Yard and Shaw, faced a conundrum: How to draw crowds in the dead of winter? One suggestion was a Groundhog Day party, ideally with a real-live groundhog. The response was ecstatic. A groundhog had to be found.

In the end, Krueger did not find an affordable and available groundhog to bless us with its prognostications this Groundhog Day. But her quest was weird and funny. Here’s our chat below.Our idea was that we were going to try to find a nature preserve with an ambassador groundhog, the kind of animal that would be taken to a school or a petting zoo or something, that would be comfortable around people.

Yeah, that groundhog is really earning its day rate. So what was the fatal blow to the groundhog plan? We’re also working with Chippin treats, it’s a local dog treat brand, and they’re going to set up two boxes that say “six more weeks of winter” and “spring is right around the corner,” with two different kinds of treats. The dog gets to play groundhog and choose which treat it wants.
