January 18, 2022 - January 23, 2022
The Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Inaugural World Snow Sculpting Championship competition sanctioned by the Association Internationale de Sculpture sur Neige et Glace based in Finland. Teams from around the world will travel to Minnesota to create amazing snow sculptures while competing for prize money and the title of the World Champion. This will be a judged event and will include social events, activities, ceremonies, the people’s choice award, and will be fun for the whole family. Stay tuned for more information – keep checking back for updates and additional details.
Conveniently located under 30 minutes away from Stillwater, Cottage Grove has comfortable, affordable, lodging options, local restaurants and bars, shops, and that ‘Up North’ Midwest, homey-feel you don’t get to experience in other larger cities making us a great destination to stay away from the hustle and bustle of a large scale event, while still getting experience a truly home-town feel.
