Twelve parties enter town's first snowman contest

A frozen “Campfire” created by Tesha D'Errico and friends.

You have to love “Dino,” the almost two dimensional dinosaur made by Claire Snye.

A giant snowman gracing the front lawn of Tom and Cindy Staves of Hosley Ave.

Mama and Baby Bear brought to life in snow by Odelia and Ella Combs.

Kayla Jones spent her town snowman contest time in February growing colorful one-eyed minions.

Norman and Spike were different-sized snowmen who were the work of Bayleigh Clement of Broad Street.

“Blobby the Snowman” was fashioned by Martin Street's Zaidan gang- James, Jovie and Sireea.

Te Jay and some younger pals fashioned this skater snowman, who landed skate side up.

A snowman built by Laura McGowan was joined by his friend, a husky.

The Dukett family “went under the snow,” as opposed to “under the sea” as snow folks for their excavated entry.

A pretty “Victoria” was entered by Charolet Pickering and Claire Snye.

This Woodland lady and her outdoor friends appeared in the Barrett family's backyard, where she was selling snowballs. Aaron Jarvis helped the Barrett family in this creation.

Frigid weather and very little sticky snow were handicaps for the Town of Tupper Lake Youth Activities' first snowman contest. Still the first-time event boasted 12 entries- some of which produced striking results and a lot of imagination from the entrants.

Due to COVID-19 all snowman builders had to take photos of their creations and send them to Recreation Director Angie Snye at the town hall by the close of February.

Supervisor Patti Littlefield reviewed the results for the members of the town board at the town's monthly meeting last Thursday.

The winning entry showed marshmallows on sticks roasted by a big orange bon fire. It was created on the grounds of Ivy Terrace Housing Complex, and she invited the public to check out the artistic piece in snow. It was the handiwork of Tesha D'Errico and friends.

The town supervisor said the town's judging panel decided it worthy of the grand prize.

The photo is shown above.

The second prize, went to Te Jay and her younger friends who stood a snowman skater on his head. See below.

Third prize was won by Kayla Jones and her colorful minions and the Staves family won fourth for their giant snowman.

The prize winners received gift certificates for play at Lakeview Lanes and every entrant received McDonald's coupons.
