Wake up "Hibernation Hank" for Groundhog Day

Move over, groundhogs! The House of Applejay Distillery in Ellijay, GA, celebrated Groundhog Day with its unique "Hibernation Hank" awakening. Led by storyteller David Zelski, the 21+ event featured live music and a rowdy crowd tasked with waking a "bear" to see his shadow. Whether Hank predicts more winter or an early spring, this annual mountain tradition has become a favorite local ritual. See the highlights from this year’s loud and joyful reveal in North Georgia.
