Competition to find best snowman in the region


After facing quite a tough task, our judges decided that the best one was an extraordinary snowman sitting down on a seat in the garden of a house in Almsford Road, submitted by Maggie Vardy. She will win a family ticket to the Ice Factor's popular Christmas ice rink in the Eye of York.
