Craig started the tradition with his sons in 2019 to win a contest.
‘He was 19 feet tall,’ Craig recalled. ‘He was a little rough. The crew and my boys and I had so much fun doing it that we decided to do it again.’
Every year, the family goes for ‘Bigger, and better.’
In 2020, Jeffery hit 32 feet and then 44 feet in 2021.
‘Now this year we decided to go even bigger,’ Hunter said.
The snowman is named after Craig’s brother who died six years ago.
‘He’d like it, so it’s been a lot of fun,’ Craig said about his brother Jeffery.
Jeffery’s eight-foot top hat is made of cattle panels and his scarf extends 75-feet.

As of January 15, the family raised $1,000 of their $2,000 goal.
The funds will go toward the town’s 75th anniversary celebration.
In the future, Craig hopes to raise money for a scholarship in honor of his brother, WQOW reported.
