Snow was more than just a little challenge this year in Paradise Michigan! Hopes for the unlimited possibilities for snow sculpture visions soared as total snowfalls the area reached 110 inches. Then the "January Thaw" proceeded, melting some five feet of snow and dashing designs of grandeur. Several more inches fell a few days just before the contest deadline and temperatures dropped. Efforts and designs were underway again!
Our local contestant families went to work and showcased their skills in this year's 2017 Winter Carnival Snow Sculpture Contest. What better way for a Snow Family to spend time together then ice fishing. The Holden family architects added a couple of snow tunnels to the property as well.

Serving as a member on the Wild Blueberry Festival Steering Committee and Chairperson of the Fish Bowl event, it makes sense that the Moore household would have visions of Blueberry Pies, but who would think it could look so appetizing in snow! Congratulations to the Moores!
