Olympia Snowe-woman has wreaths as eyes, skis for eyelashes, trees for arms and 5-foot tires as buttons. She’s 122 feet and 1 inch tall – a new world record.
The snowwoman, which Bethel citizens started construction on Feb. 6, is almost complete. It will be unveiled tomorrow at 10 a.m. For her full specs, check out the Bethel Chamber of Commerce’s Web site.
The chamber recently announced that it will be named after Maine’s senior senator, Olympia Snowe.
She is expected to make a statement on the dedication later today.
The snowwoman establishes a new Guinness world record – one they currently hold. In 1999, the Western Maine town built Angus, named after former governor Angus King. He was the world’s tallest snowman, standing 113 feet and 7 inches tall.
Angus weighed 8 million pounds, had a 100 foot scarf and a 6-foot nose, according to the Chamber.
