Yonah, the North Georgia Groundhog, to Make Groundhog Day Virtual Appearance!

Community, Fast & Furriest
Yonah the Groundhog, from North Georgia Wildlife Park in Cleveland, Ga, will be making a virtual appearance on Groundhog Day, Tuesday, February 2 at 8:00am. Yonah has informed his keepers at the Wildlife Park that he is concerned about the health of his fans and prefers to appear online this year.
Join Yonah on Facebook to watch him come out of his burrow at 8:00am, looking for his shadow. You will have a front row seat as the world’s most famous meteorologist makes his annual predication about the duration of winter. An accurate weather report and “hanging out” with a groundhog – what could be better!
But there’s more! Yonah will be joined by Mufasa the Hedgehog! Though not as well-known as Groundhog Day, National Hedgehog Day also takes place on February 2. Mufasa is an African Pygmy Hedgehog, and the spiky little fellow is adorable!

Community

As a way of saying “Thank You” to their community and supporters, the North Georgia Safari Park and White County Fire Station #6 are co-hosting the “Night of the Living Safari”, a drive-thru trick or treat experience. The event will take place Friday and Saturday, October 30th and 31st, 4:00pm-7:00pm. Here’s the best part – it’s FREE!

You will experience dozens of exotic animals as you drive through the Safari Park – zebra, camels, water buffalo, bison, wart hogs and more.  In addition, you’ll receive treats from costumed staff and volunteers along the way. It’s a fun, COVID-safe and unique way to experience Halloween.

Due to anticipated crowds, reservations are required. This will make for a better experience for all guests. Reservations may be made online at https://www.northgeorgiazoo.com/night-of-the-living-safari.html

This free event is possible due to the generosity of many individuals and businesses that are helping sponsor the event.

Donations to the park are appreciated. These will be used to help the park continue to care for and feed the animals during this COVID season.

So put on your costume, get your trick or treat bag, and join the fun at Night of the Living Safari! North Georgia Safari Park is located at 2912 Paradise Valley Road, Cleveland, GA. Visit their website at www.myfavoritezoo.com for more information.
