Think outside the (snow)box and join businesses across Superior for one of the most creative and community-spirited activities of the Lake Superior Ice Festival — the Snow{less} Snowman Business Contest!
This fun and lighthearted contest sponsored by Superior Parks & Rec invites local businesses and organizations to build a snowman without using snow or ice, using materials, colors, products, and personality that represent your business. Snowmen will be displayed outside your business during the Lake Superior Ice Festival on January 30 & 31 and kept on display through February 6, encouraging the community to explore participating businesses and vote for their favorites.
To give everyone a little extra time to participate, the entry deadline has been extended to Wednesday, January 15!
