Black-and-white newspaper clipping with the headline “Groundhog? He Means Nothing to Valleyites.” The article explains that Groundhog Day traditions did not resonate in the Rio Grande Valley, where warm winter weather made the groundhog’s shadow irrelevant. It notes springlike temperatures, mentions Charro Days, and contrasts Valley weather with colder northern states.
In this clipping from El Heraldo de Brownsville (Feb. 1, 1940, p. 1), the Valley shrugs off the groundhog’s shadow, because winter rarely sticks around there. 🔎 Find more historic Spanish-language newspapers in our collections on NewsBank.

Del #archivo: “La venganza del guajolote” de Xavier De León (El Heraldo Mexicano, 1927). Un guajolote protesta su destino festivo y promete venganza desde la barriga del comensal.
“Pues bien, si a mí me coméis,
os juro que en la barriga
os mostraré mi venganza…”
