Our latest creation, Dancing Alligator for Dave. We wanted to add some joy and whimsy to the world as Dave Rothstein did. We will miss you, Dave. ❤️❤️

Baba Yaga's house. "Anybody home?" By the Chickadees. We had a blast at the Jackson Area Snow Sculpting Competition. Thanks as always to Kathleen from the Chamber of Commerce for being the best and most wonderful host ever. ❤️❤️

We are getting close to finished! Today we put the final touches (and giant chicken feet) on the Baba Yaga house we created. We are calling her "Anybody Home?" The tools are down by noon today. We will post photos at the end!

Yesterday we spoke at our local Rotary Club about snow sculpting! We told them about all the sweet Wisconsin people, terrible warm temperatures, and the kindness of snow sculptors. In thanks for our talk, they vaccinated 10 kids against polio in our honor!

We are heading home and are so grateful for having such a special, welcoming experience! We absolutely loved our sponsors from Lake City Social Lake Geneva and Harbor Shores on Lake Geneva. We felt incredibly appreciated and taken care of. Thank you, friends... We are heading home in love with Wisconsin people and the family of sculptors we met there.

Tools are down! Now it’s time for YOU to vote for your favorite snow sculpture!

It’s been a long couple of days, but we couldn’t be more proud of ourselves, each other, and our community. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and support. We even met several people who were from Maine, had family here, vacationed, or just always wanted to. It touched us. There were a lot of happy tears and laughs. Once more—thank you ♥️
