There’s a small town in Wyoming where the people are outnumbered; by animals, by trees, and even by snowmen.
It was back in July when snow was equal distance a hope and a memory that Pauline Parker of Burlington, Wyoming began making personalized snowmen for everyone in her town.
Painted onto wood to ensure they didn’t melt, it was a hobby that grew and grew and grew until there were more snowmen than people, and a centerpiece snowman was one of the tallest things in the town at 27 feet high.
“I think snowmen bring joy to you,” Parker told KTVQ. “My last count was 316; you can find brown-eyed snowman, or blue or green.”
News doesn’t only travel fast in a small town, but also across small towns, and soon neighboring hamlets wanted their own. One town, with a population of just 10, got a snowman version of every person posing together under the roadsign, replicating a real-world picture of the same scene.
Throughout this month, Parker has decided to host a community snowman scavenger hunt, with snowman-shaped treats as a reward for getting the 20 questions correct across Burlington, and the nearby towns of Otto and Emblem.

The joyful crusade has won Parker a variety of fans, among art classrooms in the county, but also among the locals who love that she’s spruced up their town in a unique way.
