RETRO FIND: Surprise snowstorm leads to giant snow animal

These friends joined forces to haul 1,000 pounds of snow and create a huge snow animal!

We went in search of snow art tonight and for starters found *** snowman on crutches. The snowman complete with muffler in the parking area behind the convalescent pavilion at Children's Hospital was the work of *** physical therapist. If you think this is something, where do you see what we found in Silver Grove, Kentucky? Would you believe *** 10 ft tall rabbit estimated, weighed about £1000? It seemed like half of Silver Grove turned out for the rabbit's television debut, Ward Mecklin, Mike Stewart, Kathy Gilbert and Jim Black posed with their creation. Why *** rabbit? Why *** rabbit? Uh Everybody else could build *** snowman. But we thought from Silver Red, we'd want to be different. We build *** rabbit. And how long would it take you to do it around three hours? Are you proud of your job? Darn proud. One observer noted. He couldn't remember when there had been this much excitement in Silver Grove. Everybody loved the rabbit. Well, almost everybody. What are you thinking? It's neat. You ever seen *** rabbit that big before? No, you like it, Tom Craig for the news in Silver Grove, Kentucky?
