“The June Lake Loop Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to come check out the amazing snow we’ve received this year and spend some quality time in The Loop,” said Lindsey Chargin, June Lake Loop Chamber of Commerce secretary & 2019 Winter Fest chair. “Visitors can build a snowman in the Village and be entered to win prizes, or they can just take a walk, enjoy the scenery, enjoy each other, vote for their favorite snow people – and still be entered to win prizes.”

Local residents and businesses will build their best snowman creations from 9 a.m. to noon, ultimately creating the Snowman Village Walkabout along Main Street in June Lake Village.

Snow sculptors will be assigned a spot to construct their snow-people for event attendees to admire as they walk through the Village from noon until sundown, snapping selfies with their favorite builds. Voters will be entered into a raffle drawing and also have the chance to win prizes if their “snowman selfie” is chosen as the best Instagram post of the contest. Be sure to follow hashtags #seeyouintheloop and #allseasonsparadise during the event.
