Details on the snowflakes...

02/22/2026

All of this years snowflakes on display! I am so impressed, each and every one of them is a work of art -- a blending of creativity, science, antiques, engineering & mechanics, a community sharing a joy, and many daring themselves to try sewing for the very first time. From young to old, Mike and I thank everyone who participated from the bottom of our hearts... this makes us happy!
