Zehnder's Snowfest

Snowfest 2009



Hello everyone,

For our winter getaway, we decided to pack up the car and head over to Frakenmuth to witness firsthand the Zehnder’s Snowfest. I have heard nothing but good things about the festival and I was floored when I saw the raw talent of the artists and the intricate details of their sculptures.

We arrived at 7 pm on Friday and luckily some of the artists were still working on their pieces.

There were competitions going on all weekend. I was so impressed how these teams worked so quickly.

There were too many snow sculptures to post here, so I will only show you a handful of my favorites.

Even with all the winter beauty surrounding me, I still had to take notice to Frakenmuth's heritage.

Even my precious baby boy Dozer got to enjoy all the festivities!

After warming up with a delicious cup of hot chocolate, we all got to enjoy the fireworks display and the hot air balloon glow. Unfortunately, the wind put a damper on the glow, but I did manage to capture a few shots.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I hated to leave, but I am looking forward to next year.
