It's on Route 11A about a mile and half from the bypass. It's on the right side of the road if you're heading towards Gunstock.

Yep, they do it every year at least for the past 2 any way. The ones I have seen weren't as big as the one they did this year. It must have taken some time to build. Thanks for posting the picture. I have gone by it a dozen of times and never thought to take a picture. Maybe the reason I didn't is, I do not carry my camera in the truck.

That snow man has returned for at least the past five years or more, just past the Methodist Church. He has made his niche as one of the 7 wonders of the winter landscape in Gilford and is so artistically done. A lot of time and effort goes into building that Big Boy and bet he brings a smile to a lot of faces as they drive by. There should be a name the snow man contest.

You could name it SLUSH if it would ever warm up
