"Snowmany Snowmen" 2015 Exhibit

In 2009 The Cuero Heritage Museum had a display of Debbie Comiskey’s collection of Snowmen.  Because of the high level of public interest her display created and because her collection has many new items we asked Debbie to let us show her collection for a second time.  It is amazing how many new items are in this exhibit.

You may not realize it, but the collecting of snowmen is a worldwide phenomenon.  People all over the world collect these charming items, and some collections run into the thousands.  There are numerous Internet references to the collecting of snowmen, and even books on the hobby are available.

Debbie Comiskey has been collecting snowmen for over 20 years.  She has an amazing collection, numbering in the hundreds. 

This is not counting the large number of snowmen Christmas tree ornaments.   In fact, her tree is decorated with nothing but snowmen.
