Snow Sculptures in Stillwater

We went to visit the snow sculptures today in downtown Stillwater. They had a cute Christmas display still up as we walked through the downtown to the event.

Erin and Emma liked the sculpture of a rabbit with the timewatch and tortoise which symbolized how different types of people spend their time here on earth. Erin and Emma also liked the man that had boxed himself in. The creators from Thailand represented the idea that some people have limitations placed on them and the importance of shattering those limitations. They want people to break free out of the box.

Everyone in our group liked the "Snow Box" filled with little white balls that were spilling out the side. It represented remembering the fun in life's small surprises. Dan and Analise's favorite was the Mongolian cowboy on a bull. This was the overall winner of the competition.

The US design was a bunch of sign language hands coming out of a giant ball. The ball represented a call for unity and action for democracy. The outstretched hands symbolized collective effort and pulling together for solutions. The hands displayed peace and resistance in sign language.
