    Looks like this badge will go active on Saturday 10/1, and will take 5 check-ins to any venue in PA. Here are the tweets from @VisitPA:

    "Hot off the presses - Our new Lock & Keystone @foursquare badge will go live on Saturday, 10/1. Better get the others before they retire!"

    "To unlock the new Lock & Keystone @foursquare badge, launching Sat., ✔in at 5 venues in the Keystone State."

    Sweet. Glad they released the info.

    Are they even retiring the Groundhog Badge? I know it is retired right now but I'm hoping it comes back on 2/2/2012
  • JR1JR1 September 2011
    @choad17 We wont know till next year if they are going to bring that one back again or not. Just have to wait it out and see.

    @JR1, good idea reserving those first few comment slots for the badge info
  • JR1JR1 September 2011
    @Chaunce thanks I figured it would make it easier incase we ever have to updated badge info past what space will allow for in the origional post. That way the updates will always be directly under the origional post and not get lost in the comments.

    @choad17 I just received the following tweet regarding the groundhog day badge:


    "You just never know..... ;) RT @mikem2305: is the groundhog badge coming back in 2012 or is that forever retired?"

    seems to me it'll be back
  • choad17choad17 September 2011
    Awesome! Thanks @RainWave23 I look forward to shouting on 2/2/2012
  • TinyArchibaldTinyArchibald September 2011
    What did you have to do to get the original PA groundhog badge? Obviously check in on Feb 2, but I'm guessing check in to some location in PA and shout something too?
  • JR1JR1 September 2011
    @TinyArchibald All that one had to do was shout "groundhog" after following VisitPA no checkin required.
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    Badge now active.
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    I unlocked the badge with 1 checkin so previous checkins do count for this badge.
  • BonsaiCatBonsaiCat October 2011
    unlocked with one check in (Cioppino). It seems like the previous check ins count.
  • 4bah_9ahuL4bah_9ahuL October 2011
    unlocked just 1 c/i at Heinz Field
  • Unlock with 1 c/i thanks JR1
  • goobermaxgoobermax October 2011
    If previous checkins are being counted, I'm getting royally hosed. Before today, I had checkins at 12 of the venues on visitPA's tip list. Today I checked in at 2 of those 12, plus another I'd never been to before. Still no badge. (Needless to say, I never stopped following visitPA.)
  • mr_dracomr_draco October 2011
    @goobermax keep trying
  • goobermaxgoobermax October 2011
    And there it is. Despite a ton of previous checkins on VisitPA's list, it still took me 5 check-ins to unlock the badge. You sure you want to go with that "previous check-ins count for this badge" thing? It's quite possible that it may have not been intentional, and that the devs have since nixed it.

    Congrats on getting the badge finally. The only reason I could think of it taking you all 5 checkins would have been if your pervious checkins were from more then 60 days before the badge went live. But in any case you got the badge now so it doesn't really matter now.

    Got it with one c/in here ttps://foursquare.com/v/midtown-scholar/4b046333f964a520c15322e3
  • bulkuktobulkukto May 2012
    got it 5 c/i active now thanks @JR1 and everybody.

    hi @JR1 the first venue is wrong, thats link to my 4sq :D
  • JR1JR1 August 2012
    @4bah_9ahuL Someone must have changed the venues since they were first posted. I went back redid them all so they were all correct. Thanks for the heads up.
