ARTS COUNCIL ANNOUNCES SNOW SCULPTURE WINNERS

The Suffield Council for the Arts is pleased to announce the winners of their Second Annual Snow Sculpture Competition.  Although the ground was looking rather dry mid February, we lucked out this year with some good snow for the contest at the beginning and end of the month.

Being our second year of competition, participation was greatly increased this year with 21 entries over all.  There were some wonderful, creative pieces to choose from and because of this judging was rather difficult.  We hope that everyone had fun participating.   The Arts Council is planning this as an annual event and hope, weather permitting, that this will become a tradition for families to participate in for years to come. 

Each category winner will receive a Snowman Kit.  The Team Category will receive a gift certificate to Suffield Pizza.  Ages 13-17 will receive a gift certificate to Atlas Coffee House.  Ages 9-12 and 5-8 will receive age appropriate games.

We hope to have all entries on display at the library shortly.  Please be sure to stop by and see the entries.  Be sure to mark our website as one of your favorites to keep up to date with the happenings of the Arts Council and especially next year’s competition http://suffieldarts.tripod.com (no www.).
