The North St. Paul Snowman

摘要

Following reconstruction, North St. Paul's iconic snowman continues its vigil along Highway 36. Standing 44 feet (13 meters) high and weighing many tons, North St. Paul's snowman has stood watch over the city for more than three decades. The metal and stucco snowman was conceived by a local businessman following a visit to Disneyland. He felt the city and the local business community could benefit from a larger-than-life icon.rnThe massive city symbol replaced large snowmen built each winter by the Jaycees to celebrate the city's annual Snow Frolics event. Several years of minimal snowfalls in the late 1960s and early 1970s had made it difficult to truck in enough snow to build an adequate snowman, and the stucco creation replaced the real thing.
