Bayport proclaims Jan. 13 as Malta Day ahead of World Snow Celebration
Summary
Mayor Michelle Hansen proclaimed Jan. 13, 2026, as Malta Day to welcome a team representing Malta to the World Snow Celebration (Jan. 13–25), citing cultural exchange and naming three participating sculptors.
Mayor Michelle Hansen read a proclamation at the Jan. 5 Bayport City Council meeting designating January 13, 2026, as Malta Day, welcoming a team representing Malta to the World Snow Celebration scheduled Jan. 13–25.
The proclamation cited Bayport’s interest in cultural diversity and international artistic exchange and named participating snow sculptors Adriana Oramus, Sarah Hutgur and Robert Folks. Hansen noted the city previously proclaimed Malta Day in the prior year and welcomed the team’s return, referencing community engagement events the team attended at local schools last year.
Council members and staff noted that the World Snow Celebration will bring sculptures and weekend trolley service for visitors; flags representing Malta will be flown in the city during the event window. The proclamation acknowledged local supporters, including a private sponsor mentioned in the meeting packet.
The proclamation does not itself create a program or funding commitment; it recognizes the visiting team and signals municipal support for related community events during the Jan. 13–25 festival window.
