SHUBENACADIE:<\/strong> A large crowd of approximately 150 people–the largest in recent years, officials said–came out to the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park<\/a> on a bitterly cold early Sunday morning Feb. 2 to hear what Shubenacadie Sam’s prediction would be on Groundhog Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As quickly as Sam came out of its warm and cozy home, Sam turned and wanted back in signalling that it saw its shadow and there will be six more weeks of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many other activities taking place all day at the <\/a>Wildlife Park following Sam’s prediction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
