Back in the 1970s we always held snow sculpturing contests as a part of the Ullr Fest and the creative masterpieces lined Main Street all during the Christmas seasons. In those days, the artists were permitted to use stabilizing structures inside the artwork and so it did last longer. That was 40 years ago and that small community event has grown into the Budweiser International Snow Sculpture Competition that we will also hold here during the latter part of January.
Our very own Rob Neyland at Breckenridge Associates is a 30-year champion of the art and will be sponsoring the first annual local event with teammates Ron Shelton and Tom Day. This take on the art should prove to be spectacular. There will be no rules regarding the methods and $2,500 in prize money that has been raised by Breckenridge Associates for the event. Participants must only obtain permission for a site for their artwork and have it completed by December 12, 2008. Now, if your family and friends want to team up to build your own colorful celestial snowman on Main Street, contact Breckenridge Associated to learn about the details.
The historic Town of Breckenridge is the county seat of Summit County, Colorado and boasts a year-round population of 3,500. During the winter months, it is one of the most popular of the ski resorts in North America and offers multi-difficulty ski slopes and terrain parks on the Rocky Mountains. Equally appealing are a plethora of summer activities such as hiking, camping, wildflower walks, fly-fishing in the Blue River, mountain biking, and boating on nearby Lake Dillon for boating as well as a full calendar of community and cultural events and festivals.
