It’s official! The eleventh annual Woolly Bear Contest ended Nov. 1 and the winners have been announced.

During the month of October, 278 woolly bears were turned into the Woolly Bear Headquarters in Hagerstown, Md. The purpose of the contest was to gather enough woolly bears to analyze their markings and determine what type of winter we will have in the upcoming months and also to compare the woolly bears’ predictions to those made by the Hagerstown Town & Country Almanack 18 months ag;o.

For the sxith year in a row, the sponsors, the Hagerstown Town & Country Almanack, put a lot of emphasis on trying to get the school children in the areas to participate. A number of schools made this a class project.
