A SNOWMAN CONTEST

Hey friends, I have a proposal :)

This week has been dubbed the "official snowman building contest week" at the downtown garden! Assuming good conditions....

So - go out anytime this week and build your snow person!

(Anywhere inside the fence is fair game...)

Perhaps an sunday could be a group day for building? First person to suggest a common time should just post it as a reply to this discussion...

Here's what we can do next - -

1. Take a picture of your snowperson, name them & upload it to the garden site.

2. Next week I will have a poll up where we can all vote for our favorite snowman.

3. Winner becomes the first annual snowperson champion or something like that :)

Who's with me ?

We'd like to write a short story about this event for The Des Moines Register's Community sections. What's a number I can call to get more information today?

thanks!

For inspiration of a different bend, check out Calvin & Hobbes Snow Art Gallery. http://www.angelfire.com/wa/zzaran/calvin.html; ▶ Reply to This
