BLAIR COUNTY, Pa. — The owners of a Pennsylvania mini golf course got an unexpected surprise when they checked their claw machine!
According to a Facebook post by the Pennsylvania Game Commission- Southcentral Region Facebook, employees at the Meadows Family Fun Mini Golf in Duncansville, Blair County were startled by an unusual "prize" inside one of their claw machine games.
State Game Warden Salvadore Zaffuto was called to respond to a groundhog that somehow found its way inside the vending machine and couldn't find the exit!
When Warden Zaffuto responded to the scene and approached the machine he saw "a wave of stuffed animals move as a groundhog scurried around underneath." Then, the furry critter popped its head out to assess the situation!
The vending machine company was contacted to unlock the machine, allowing Warden Zaffuto to safely capture the groundhog and release it unharmed.
