POTSDAM â A rhinoceros, a scaled dragon and a trail of ducklings visited Ives Park on Saturday afternoon.
Potsdamâs inaugural Snowman Festival brought about 50 people to the frozen shore of the Raquette River, where snow whimsy emerged from north country kids, parents, college students and teachers â all artists for the day.
Organized by the North Country Childrenâs Museum, the St. Lawrence County Arts Council, Big Spoon Kitchen, SUNY Potsdam and the village Chamber of Commerce, the festival and competition was staged near the Ives Park gazebo, with building stations cordoned off to keep teams distanced.

POTSDAM – Ives Park was abuzz with activity as about two dozen teams were busy building snow creatures February 20.
The snow creations included snowmen adorned with spring flowers and Monarch butterflies, beach attire and Mardi Gras décor. Among other sculptures were a Mars rover, dragon, rhinoceros and a duck family.
Although there was an abundance of snow, many participants used water to pack together the difficult, fluffy snow. Also used were dyes and miscellaneous accessories to add creativity and color to their creations.
