Our favorite groundhog will sneak into town just a few days early for the Third Annual Groundhog’s Day Gala at the Whiting Knights of Columbus Hall. Join us on Saturday, January 31st, 2026. But this year is also special because the Historical Society will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary Year!

As always, this fundraiser will be a “hole” lot of fun and includes dinner, entertainment, and an open bar. All money raised will go towards supporting the History Center of Whiting-Robertsdale, our new museum at 1606 119th Avenue, that opened in August 2025.

Tickets for the Gala will go on sale right after Christmas. Grab them early because the first two Galas were both sold out! Individual tickets are $100 and tables are $800 and include eight seats.

Tickets can be purchased by mailing a check to 1606 119th Avenue Whiting, IN 46394 or online.

If you or your business would like to contribute an item for the silent auction or sponsor part of the festivities, please contact Ron Tabaczynski at (312) 636-2348 or rtabaczynski@comcast.net.
