Snowonder Contest

February 1982

Historical February 1982 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

One of the nicest things about St. Louis is the clear distinction of seasons.

With winter coming, the St. Louis Department of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry is sponsoring a “Snowonder Contest.” A “snowonder” contest is any type of snow sculpture such as snow animals, snowmen, snow children, or anything St. Louisans creatively can model from the snowy [sentence incomplete in printed source].

When your snowonder is completed, call Mr. Snow at 535-0100, and a judge will be dispatched to view your entry. Your creation will be judged on originality with no limits on clothing, buttons, props, etc. Your entry will be publicized for all St. Louis to enjoy and prizes will be awarded.

The contest is open to city residents only.

Originally published in The Paper, February 1982.
