White Squirrel Day
Mary C. Jenkins Community & Cultural Center, 221 Mills Ave, Brevard, NC
![]()
On Groundhog Day, Brevard holds its own version with a rare white squirrel instead of a groundhog, predicting how much winter remains. The tradition grew out of the city's genuinely unusual white squirrel population, descendants of animals that escaped a traveling circus truck in the late 1940s. Brevard's mayor has proclaimed the observance permanent, and the event raises money for local wildlife rehabilitators.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
