Foursquare Groundhog Day Badge! [UPDATE]

February 1, 2011 in Internet with 12 Comments

Like many other North Americans, I cast away math, science and perhaps even some religions in favor of putting my faith into a rodent to decide the fate of our seasons. Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, the namesake for 1993′s movie of the same name. While I could go at length in this post about the absolute wonders of this spectacular film, and judge those of you who haven’t seen it, I must tell you what Pennsylvania is up to this year (aside from Punxsutawney Phil’s usual antics).

Our wonderful state is unveiling its fourth badge, the “PA Groundhog Day” badge. This one can only be snagged TOMORROW. Just follow these simple steps:

First, follow visitPA on foursquare at foursquare.com/visitPA

Second, check in anywhere in the world and shout “groundhog” between 12:00AM and 11:59PM EST on 2/2/2011.

Details here: http://www.visitpa.com/groundhog-day

Brought to you by our lovely friends at Red Tettemer + Partners and visitPA.

UPDATE: We’ve just gotten word via Annie Heckenberger of Red Tettemer + Partners that visitPA’s Groundhog Day badge has the most unlocks of any single-day partner badge foursquare has ever done. Wow!

ROFL. I just noticed the logo’s at the top of this masterpiece. Fantastic attention to detail. You’ve really outdone yourself, Mikey.

So doing this just because I love the movie so much! I remember seeing it in theaters when I was young… and happy. :’(

I miss the days when Bill Murray did 10 films a year.
