The Snowmen of Scarsdale

There was a silver lining to the continuous storms that dumped over a foot of snow on Scarsdale and closed schools for a record number of days. The Scarsdale Village Recreation Department seized the day and announced a Snowman Contest – taking the focus away from plowing to building some very creative snowmen.

01/27 

   

Forty families got involved and from these pictures its evident they had loads of fun and were very creative in their approaches. Pictured here are an Olympic snowmen (one riding a snowboard), an igloo, a snowman attending a barbeque, another at the beach, a snow turtle, a veggie snowman sprouting celery for ears and a Lego king snowman plus many more imaginative creations.

The Village awarded winners who will receive prizes courtesy of Imagine Candy – but winning was hardly the point. The contest was a good reason to get outside an enjoy the white stuff before it melted:
