Franklin the snowman has become a seasonal resident of Vermontville, staying with the McCormick family each winter since 2016.
(Enterprise photo â Aaron Cerbone) VERMONTVILLE His name is Franklin, he stands 20 feet tall, and you can’t miss him driving through town on state Route 3. Franklin is a giant snowman, built every year since 2016 by Pat and Amy McCormick with their children: Holly, 10, and Elliott, 6. He’s grown up over the years. The first year he stood 8 feet tall, still a respectable height for a snow person, but at this point Pat considers 8 feet “little.” “We try to go bigger every year,” he said.
