SAULT STE. MARIE, MI— Lake Superior State University will hold its annual spring-launching event Friday—the burning of a snowman.
For the past 51 years, LSSU has fashioned a snowman out of a wooden frame covered in paper, straw, wire and paint and set it aflame to celebrate the end of winter.
A master of ceremonies will talk about the history of the event, poetry and prose will be read, and food and drink will be served. The snowman will be lit at 6 p.m. in Cisler Plaza on Lake State’s campus. The event is free and open to the public.
