Grand Haven Main Street hosts snowman competition

Grand Haven Main Street hosts snowman competition By Grace Montgomery

Snowmen sculptures are currently showcased along Washington Ave. as part of the Snowmen On Main Street event. It began on Saturday Feb. 13 and lasts until Saturday, Feb. 20.

Local schools, organizations, and individuals were challenged to create snowmen using anything but snow. The sculptures were then registered and placed around town.

As a community, we are asked to vote for our favorite snowman. To vote, scan the QR code attached using your phone camera. Winners will be announced on Monday, Feb 22 through a Facebook live.

Lake Hills Preschool used a tire and two splatter painted balls to form Arty’s body. They added a graduation cap, googly eyes, buttons, a scarf, and a paint pallet to give him personality. It sits on the corner of Washington Ave. and 1st St.
