Frosty the Snowman

We took a drive down to Faribault MN to see Faribault Frosty. Even though we do not have any snow on the ground Faribault’s Frosty still came to be – and is a wonder for us all to see.

Frosty is an oversized Snowman and one that has been created every year for 17 years by a wonderful family giving this gift to their community in Faribault.  Employees from Shattuck- St. Mary School’s ice rink shaved ice with their Zamboni for this family’s tradition to carry on in spite of the fact there are no students at the school practicing their hockey skills or ice skating.

We took our grandchildren to see Frosty standing tall. As we drove up the master creator was on a ladder tying Frosty’s red scarf around his neck. He told us we came just in time – that the kids could help him patch up Frosty by adding snow to some holes in Frosty’s body. The kids had a great time doing so.

This is a great tradition this Faribault family has built. Frosty’s creator, was so kind to our grandhildren and he made their day.

And mine too…every little act of kindness these days really means a lot.

  1. Oh, Valerie, such a lovely Christmas story! And, you are right, kindness is so powerful and so contagious! The photos are amazing and touching. They are such a charming little family! God bless all of you as you spend your holidays together! Merry Christmas!

    1. Thank you Sheri. You would enjoy seeing Frosty too, next time you are out on your errands. 🙂

  2. I didn’t even know about this 17 year wonder ! We will have to drive around Northfield this evening, to see all the lights and trimmings that we have here. If THE DEPOT still had outdoor seating we would be tempted to drive down! Thank you for this news, though. Kay

  4. Valerie, I’m happy you got down here to see Faribo Frosty. And then to experience that bonus of Zoey and Ezra helping to patch Frosty. I love how Andy engaged them. What a blessing. Enjoy your time with TAZE.
