What are Snowfolk? Pretty simple: they are anybody you want to build from snow! We have some "cool" (yeah we went there) examples around town made from repurposed tires. So cute!
Here's how you can win some fantastic prizes:
Build some snowfolk: Gather your family or friends and show off your creativity by building the coolest snowperson in town! Whether it's traditional or out-of-the-box, let your imagination run wild! Take a picture and post to the Town Facebook page.
Take a selfie with snowfolk: Can't build a snowperson? No problem! Find one of the Town's already crafted snowfolk, strike a pose, and snap a selfie with it! Don't forget to share it with us!
Color a page: Not a fan of the cold? That's okay! Get cozy indoors and unleash your artistic skills by coloring a snowfolk-themed page. Let your colors bring the snowman to life! Pick up coloring pages at the Town Hall or McCulloch Education Centre.Remember to tag us in your entries and use the hashtag #PictouSnowfolkCompetition to be eligible to win amazing prizes!
