Plenty of snowmen about town

Last weekend`s BIA-organized Big Heart Festival introduced a new element – Creemore`s first annual (we hope!) Snowman Contest.Immediately below is the winning entry, an upside-down “Bonhomme de Neige” created by County Road 9’s Chris Charlebois and his son Cole. The judges definitely had their hands full, as there were some amazing entries around town, including the MacAlpine family`s R2D2 on Mary Street (which garnered an honourable mention from the judges), an extra tall version at the Van Severen home on King Street, a snowman and a snowlady at the Crawford household on Elizabeth Street and a boxy fellow at the Strain home at Mill and King Streets.
