Winter Fun

WINTER FUN

Although winter isn’t really over yet, we can start to think about spring. But before we forget how much snow and cold a Maine winter can produce, it might be worth remembering all the fun we had skating, skiing, tobogganing or simply building a snowman. Perhaps we should mention here that the world’s largest SNOWWOMAN was constructed in Bethel, Maine last winter. Since there was no challenge to that record this year the folks in Bethel took the year off. I was disappointed when I recently passed by the site of last years “Olympia” and saw only a snow covered field where last year stood the most incredible snowman/woman. I don’t remember all the statistics, but for scale, let it be noted that the eyelashes are six foot long skis. The media, and the Guinness Book of Records reports “Olympia” as being 122 ft and 1 inch tall and weighing in at 13,000,000 lbs. She didn’t melt away until July. Now you couldn’t have that much fun in the city could you?
