Council proclaims 50th Snowfest, directs city manager to deliver a bucket of snow to Manitowoc mayor
Summary
Council adopted a resolution commemorating the 50th Snowfest and humorously directed the city manager to deliver a bucket of snow to the Manitowoc mayor as part of historic rivalry traditions.
The council on July 21 adopted a resolution commemorating the 50th edition of Snowfest, the community festival revived by volunteers in February 2018. The resolution recounts the July 1936 discovery of snow in 2 Rivers and directs City Manager Greg Buckley to deliver a fresh bucket of snow to Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nichols in keeping with historic precedent.
Council voted by roll call to adopt the resolution. Organizers and community volunteers were thanked in the resolution, and council members noted city participation in the weekend parade and events. Snowfest organizers introduced themselves earlier in the meeting and described planned activities including bands, a vendor fair, a snow pile delivery and a parade at 11 a.m. on Saturday (July 26).
