Though a large number of Sam the Snowman already are hiding out in store windows in downtown Naperville, at 4PM Fri., Nov. 23, 20 delightfully and artfully painted snowman sculptures will be unveiled along the sidewalks.  The tour of the snowman exhibit will shine under the spotlight  during this new family celebration to help kick off the season.

Plus, touring the exhibit on Black Friday will be a great way to enjoy fresh air and walk off some of the sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner.

Since August when the sculptures were picked up at the Public Works facility, local artists have been creating magical designs that will bring the snowmen to life.

So  come on downtown to be among the first individuals to experience the joyful exhibit, plan a little shopping and see what’s new on the menu at more than 40 eateries throughout downtown. Enjoy live entertainment and discover chances to win prizes, too!

You can believe more than a few things are planned that will whet every appetite!

The snowman exhibit will remain on display downtown until mid-January.
