It was like 1992 all over again in Woodstock. Bill Murray, star of the film "Groundhog Day," returned to the Square on Saturday, almost 28 years after the film was shot at locations on and around the Square and elsewhere in McHenry County. This time, Murray was there to film a Jeep commercial. Though no one was from Jeep was immediately available to confirm the date the commercial would run, it was filmed eight days before the Super Bowl, which falls on Groundhog Day this year. A photo taken while the commercial was being filmed shows Murray in front of a red pickup truck that looks much like the vehicle his character, Phil Connors, drives away in when he steals a groundhog and later drives off a cliff.
