So get your gear ready before bed tonight and have some sweet snowman dreams for a major community event that has inspired a new contest and tasty prize here at 365Barrington.com.


St. Matthew Church has a huge snowy field ready and waiting for Frostys of all shapes and sizes to to pop up tomorrow.  So the timing is perfect for our first ever 365 Barrington Snowman Photo Contest.   Whether you build a snowman at St. Matthew’s or find one chillin’ in your own yard or neighborhood, snap and submit a photo and you could win a delicious prize from one of the sweetest spots in Barrington!

The hats and mittens donned by the St. Matthew’s snowmen tomorrow will be donated to a local shelter, by the way, so it’s also a super cause.  And kudos to St. Matthew Church for coming up with such a cool community event.  You’ll find more info about St. Matthew Lutheran Church on their website at StMatthewBarrington.com.
