What are the snow monoliths that have recently appeared in Owatonna s Central Park? Could they have placed here by a remote, frozen civilization? Before you dismiss that, HAL, Baby Yoda emerged from a similar monolith a few years ago in downtown Owatonna (see below).
Actually, the Owatonna Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring a Snow Sculpture Exhibition as part of the Winter Weekend Out January 30-31. Carving was due to begin over the weekend and you should stop by Central Park and see how they are progressing. Spectators are welcome, but don t touch the sculptures.
Everyone is invited to build a snowman on their own at home and submit photos to park and rec thru their Facebook page or by emailing parkrec@ci.owatonna.mn.us. The recent snowfall would have made for some great building material if the consistency of it was better.

The iron eagle atop the Civil War monument in Northfield s Bridge Square has been known to change direction in the fall after the game between St Olaf College and Carleton College, with the eagle atop the monument being turned to face the direction of the campus that won.
