About Tim

Tinicum Tim is a groundhog puppet who (usually) makes an annual weather prediction for the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Tim is the star of the shadow ceremony, but he couldn’t do it without the support of his wife, Tinicum Tina, and their children, the Tinicum twins. Other activities at the wildlife refuge during the Groundhog Day Festival include songs, crafts, and light snacks and refreshments.
