(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
The star of this year's Groundhog Day celebration isn't coming out of a burrow, or a cake being cut into slices. It's a massive 9-foot-tall groundhog statue made from 6,000 Lipton Hard Iced Tea cans. Dubbed "Can Daddy," this towering tribute to Groundhog Day is making its way through Pennsylvania bringing a sip of sunshine to the festivities. The stud weighs an estimated 250 pounds and took a team of four over 150 hours to construct.
For one lucky fan, the celebration won't end on Sunday. Lipton Hard Iced Tea is giving away the larger-than-life statue to someone bold enough to take the party home. Fans 21 and older can enter by visiting @liptonhardtea on Instagram and commenting "Groundhog" on this post for a chance to win. *
The new 12-pack offering of Citrus Green Tea allows you to sip and share America's favorite Lipton flavor with friends, now with 5% alcohol. If you're in Pennsylvania, you can stop by to try samples of the flavor and see "Can Daddy" for yourself at the following locations. The brand is also harnessing the power of the sun to create a special shadow billboard that will cast a hidden message on Saturday at the Indiana, PA stop. Come check it out for yourself!
