![“All the council would get dressed up and go out to a little spot in the woods and get drunk there and so they’d make the announcement. I don’t even think the groundhog was real at that time. It’s not until later when the popularity kept increasing that they put a Gobblers Knob on the mountain side because Punxsutawney is in the valley and then it got bigger and bigger and bigger. And when it falls on a weekend, all the colleges that are around [such as] Indiana, Clarion, [Carnegie Mellon], kids all come in because that’s their Spring Break so there’s maybe 40 [or] 50 thousand people in a town that’s now only six [thousand]. It was a big deal. We all knew what it was, it was a marketing stunt, but it was a very good marketing [stunt] because everywhere in the United States or in the world, they know about Punxsutawney once a year,” CHS substitute teacher Jim Moore said.](https://coppellstudentmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Mr.MooreGroundhog-4.jpg)
![“All the family members will get together and have dinner for the new year, and we have fun together. Then we watch a TV show called “Chun Wan”. There will be different shows for all ages, and family members watch TV together until 1 a.m. We go visit our relatives, and the little kids will ask for red packets with $30 to $40 inside [because the red paper signifies happiness and blessings on those who receive it]. [Feb. 16] is the start of the new year. My friends and family members posted on social media to celebrate Chinese New Year because they have vacations because it’s a holiday, but I’m in school studying, and it’s awful [because I’m not on vacation with them],” senior Skyler Zheng said.](https://coppellstudentmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_6419-900x600.jpg)
