Wallingford, you’re Michelangelos with the snow, you sculpt the white crystals as Chihuly does the glass (and perhaps better, in our opinion).

Without further ado, the winner of the First Not At All Annual Wallyhood Snowman contest is (drumroll please)…

Clara, submitted by Annie Tegen and constructed by the young sculptors pictured. Annie, there’s a jar of Wallyhood’s own Wallingford honey with your name on it. It’s mighty tasty drizzled on snow, we’ve found (although I might wait for a fresh fall).

The competition was fierce, though. Honorable mention goes to “WALLE-ngford and EVE” by Andrew Shao and roommate, not only for the crisp lines and impeccable execution, but also for the cute name. Enjoy it and the other entries below.
