A gigantic snowman is fun for any age to see. And this huge snowman, Faribo Frosty, appears each winter in Faribault, MN. It is an annual tradition for this Faribault family to create an enormous snowman with a hat and mittens and scarf, and all other snowman trimmings, including a bucket for his pipe.
We thought it might have melted a little before we got to take the grandchildren to see it this week because of the unusually warm temperatures, but if it did melt any we couldn’t tell…it was still huge, and a big hit with the kids.
The family encourages people to stop by to see FariboFrosty, and to take pictures, and to enjoy their wonderful gift to their community. We are joyful recipients of their labor of love and are thankful for it.
I have seen this many times when I go through Faribault or stop to see friends. It is very impressive and must have been made with love. You are right – a great gift to the community! Your grandchildren are really growing fast – great time to make memories for them!
Yes, I hope they remember their fun visits to grandma and grandpa in Minnesota.
Love it! What an outstanding tradition to warm hearts during the frosty days of winter.
Yes! Warming hearts during frosty days. I like that.
We are starting the same tradition with Isabelle of taking her to see Frosty. I’m glad you’re doing the same with your sweet grandchildren. This is such a wonderful gift from the Hoisington family.
It is a fun tradition, for sure. Zoey remembered it from last year…Ezra was sleeping in the car last year – he was impressed!
I love the Faribo Frosty! I think your grandkids will love this memory!
I hope they remember…I know we will keep going to see Frosty when they come to MN in the winter.
