The 15 finished sculptures in the U.S. Snow Sculpting Championship in Lake Geneva
Block 1: New York 2
Team Name: Team NY Sculpture Title: Time Artist Statement: We chose our theme as a phenomenon that we all can relate to, yet one that is hard to understand and really know. Time affects us all in different ways as we pass through our lives amongst friends and family. While time is constant in some ways, we feel it differently as things happen around us. Time can be slow when one is young and speed up as we age, or as is the case this past year during the pandemic, time can be both slow and fast at the same time. We can’t know time, but we can feel it and respond. This sculpture is a representation of the nature of time and how we see it from both the inside of our minds and in the world around us. Team Members: Doug Schatz (captain), Evan Blondell, Kirk Sweet.
Block 2: Michigan
Team Name: Team Michigan Sculpture Title: Look at Dat Der Buck, Eh Artist Statement: The sculpture consists of the bust of a mature whitetail deer buck, surrounded by a garland of white oak leaves and acorns. A buck sporting a rack of antlers can be a breathtaking sight if your a hiker or hunter, or a nuisance if you’re a garden or car hood. In either case it’s quintessentially a symbol of the Midwest. The sculpture is a tribute to the Midwest and all those hikers, hunters, and everyone else enjoying the north woods. Team Members: Adam Warmack (captain), Dan Povolo, Marko Masnjak.
Block 3: Minnesota
Team Name: Royal and Supreme Order of Snow & Sand Sculptures & Shovelers (Minnesota) Sculpture Title: Olympic Dreams Artist Statement: This is a mashup of imagery from the winter Olympic competitions including figure skating, downhill skiing, luge and others set in a stylized display. Team Members: Jonathan Baller (captain), Curt Cook, Joshua Baller.
Block 4: Wisconsin 1
The 1st place national champion and 2nd place people’s choice winner.Team Name: Sculptora Borealis (Wisconsin 1) Sculpture Title: Deeper Connections Artist Statement: Against the many storylines that exist today, whether it’s political, racial, cultural, religious, etc., the media narrative continuously places humans into groups or uses descriptors that try to push people into some sort of category often creating division and tension between those groups. Whatever the motive, in the end, we are all humans and our opinions and what we look like on the outside are just a small part of who we are as a person. The deeper we dig into understanding our fellow humans, we’ll find that we have much in common, and if you remain open, you just might find a connection that would not have otherwise been found. It is time for us to reach out and understand each other so we can unify the world and create compassion, and acceptance for all beings on Earth. Team Members: Joshua Jakubowski (captain), Robert Lechtenberg, Michael Lechtenberg.
Block 5: Illinois 2
Team Name: Windy City Snowmen (Illinois 2) Sculpture Title: Babies Artist Statement: We have a question for you: Do you see a baby that just took the pacifier from her brother’s mouth? Or do you see a sister trying to give a pacifier to her upset twin brother? The babies of today will probably see the year 2100. The next Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Martin Luther King, or Mother Theresa has already been born. It doesn’t hurt to believe in them, and it could make all the difference. Team Members: Kim McCombs (captain), Mike Dillon, Juan Zelaya.
Block 6: Florida
The 2nd place national champion and 3rd place people’s choice winner.Team Name: Flozen: Less Latitude, More Attitude (Florida) Sculpture Title: Cherry Blossom Beauty Artist Statement: The meaning of this sculpture holds an important significance to Team Flozen. Over the past year, countless people around us have suffered losses, struggle with anxiety, and have endured tremendous life-altering circumstances. Our world seems to have a dark shadow cast upon it. We wanted our piece to illustrate the beauty that still exists in this world. It’s our hope to transport everyone into a place of peace and serenity, where troubles are no more than a cherry blossom falling from a tree. Team Members: Amanda Bolduc (captain), Bruce Peck, Adam Turner.
Block 7: North Dakota
The 3rd place national champion.Team Name: Jay Ray w/SnoKraft (North Dakota) Sculpture Title: Here, There Be Dragons Artist Statement: Viking long ships and their stylized figure heads struck fear into the hearts of coastal dwellers in medieval northern Europe. The long agile ships were fast and capable of sailing oceans and rivers alike. These ships were so well made, that they were capable of crossing oceans to lands unknown. Fearsome and fearless, the Vikings sailed into the unknown, regardless of what might be there to greet them. The snow carving titled “Here, There Be Dragons” features a Viking long ship in its final moments above the waves as it is being ravaged by a monstrous sea dragon. Featuring the Viking ship is an homage to the “Hjemkomst Viking Ship Park” where team North Dakota met in friendly competition at the annual Frostival Snow Carving Competition. Team Members: Jay Ray (captain), Mike Nelson, Josh Zeis.
Block 8: Alaska
Team Name: AK Department of Snow (Alaska) Sculpture Title: As We Emerge Artist Statement: In a world caught in struggle and conflict this sculpture represents hope. Turmoil and Tribulation are not our doom, but rather the forces that crack the shell and allow for transformation to wonderful beauty. Let us remember to feel the embrace of the hands that cradle and support us in this process so we may emerge in renewed majesty and take flight. Team Members: Paul Hanis (captain), Patrick Boonstra, Tom Lewando.
Block 9: New Hampshire
Team Name: Mountains of Snow (New Hampshire) Sculpture Title: Birth of Snow Artist Statement: Have you ever looked up on a cold winter’s day? As you look, you see small, tiny forms dancing down toward you. You focus closer and reach out, catching one on a mitten. As you look close, what do you see? Team Members: Sandy Hall (captain), Robert Orfant, Kathleen Fraize.
Block 10: Vermont
Team Name: The Pour Saps (Vermont) Sculpture Title: Roaring Peace Artist Statement: When we think of power, we usually think strength, dominance, aggression — whether in defense or attack. ‘Peace Offering’ suggests the opposite — that true power lies not in capacity for violence, might, or dominance, but in understanding and open-heartedness, both toward the other and, in this case, toward ones own fiercest fears. Team Members: Katie Runde (captain), Mugsy Logan, Tony Perham.
Block 11: Wisconsin 2
Team Name: Team USA (Wisconsin 2) Sculpture Title: When Grief Takes Wing Love Remains Artist Statement: Team USA created the piece with their individual art form/style. This piece is a symbol of our lifelong friendship & how our art can become one. We came from different backgrounds and Art has brought us together as best friends for grief & love but always love. Team Members: Thomas Queoff (captain), Mike Martino, Mike Sponholtz.
Block 12: Illinois 1
Team Name: The Band of Misfit Boys (Illinois 1) Sculpture Title: Alice In Chains Artist Statement: What happens when you take a band name from the 90s, throw in an iconic scene from a space movie in the 80s and mix it with a classic fairytale? Fun from the minds of the Band of Misfit Boys. Team Members: Keith Pliml (captain), Man-Bear, Drake Perez.
Block 13: Colorado
Team Name: Snow Motion (Colorado) Sculpture Title: Thru the Looking Glass Artist Statement: To take a closer look at our individual lives and the connection that we have with all mankind. Team Members: Steve Mercia (captain), Carey Hosterman, Trent Mercia.
Block 14: New York 1
The 1st place people’s choice winner.Team Name: Urbancountrymen (New York 1) Sculpture Title: Screwed Artist Statement: The sculpture titled “Screwed” is a design that was first thought of by artist Alan Tuttle. He had brought the idea to our team discussions and after many other ideas passed by, the idea of the screw passing through wood, seemed like the most viable option for our team. It offers the challenge that we are looking for as sculptors, as well as an interesting concept for the viewers. This sculpture has a double helix screw body, hollowed from the core with a giant Philips screw head protruding from a diagonal piece of wood. As a screw is driven into wood it creates a draw through tension and stress. In our society today tension and stress are two areas that we all can relate to in our own way. The name given to the sculpture is obviously a pun and meant to be funny. It is a name that no one will pass by without wonder. This idea in all seriousness, offers some great technical challenges that we will overcome. Our journey has brought us back together to sculpt snow after a long break. We are excited to create and celebrate a form of art that so many have spent countless hours thinking, planning and executing all to watch it melt back into the ground in a short time. We are the Urbancountrymen from the state of New York and we are excited to experience this event alongside so many other talented people. Thank you to all that make this event happen. Team Members: Paul Aubin (captain), Alan Tuttle, Johnny Church.
Block 15: Iowa
Team Name: The Driftless Snow Sculptors (Iowa) Sculpture Title: Coming to Terms Artist Statement: The Guardian of Truth is shackled and gravely wounded. The dangerous and deceitful knife of falsehoods has cut his wing, impeding his ability to soar as he should. The shackle of untruths has taken hold of his leg, severely restricting any advancement forward. The Guardian of Truth is endangered. Unless we free its Guardian from these distortions and impediments, The Truth will become irrelevant and is in great peril. Team Members: Hugh McCarron (captain), Wayne McDermott, Jeremy Rudd.

In photos: Fitzgerald's Genoa Junction: Fish boils, Door County-style
Dining at Fitzgerald's Genoa Junction
In Wisconsin, fish is the menu drawing card on Friday nights. At Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction in Genoa City, a recent Friday dinner crowd fills the main floor dining room for the restaurant’s signature Door County-styled fish boil, a popular Fitzgerald’s menu staple five nights a week. The restaurant, housed in a historic octagon-shaped home, also offers barbecued chicken and pork ribs and a full service bar.
Eric Johnson
Welcome to the Octagon House
The historic octagon-shaped Welcome J. Miller House at 727 Main St., Genoa City, today houses the popular destination restaurant Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction, famed for its Door County-styled fish boils. The clapboard pre-Civil War home, built in 1852, was continuously owned by the successive generations of the Miller family until its sale to Fitzgerald’s in 1990.
Eric Johnson
Fish boil cooking action
BELOW: Specializing in destination dining fish boils since 1978, Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction Restaurant is popular for its authentic outdoor Door County-styled fish boils, using cast iron cooking kettles heated over blazing hardwood fires. The popular “eater-tainment” dining experience, watched by diners from the Octagon House dining room or the adjacent outdoor patio, is best known for its spectacular fiery “boil over” theatrics. When the fish are done cooking, a splash of kerosene is thrown onto the fire to create the added fireball boost of heat required to boil over and thus remove the floating fats and oils from the fish.
Eric Johnson
The Octagon House, a.k.a. Welcome J. Miller House
Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction Restaurant in Genoa City is housed in the historic Welcome J. Miller House (left). The structure, popularly known as The Octagon House, was long home to the Miller family, which operated the adjacent W.J. Miller & Sons Carriage and Wagon Factory, hydro-powered by a mill race off neighboring Nippersink Creek. The Miller family occupied The Octagon House over the span of multiple generations, from 1851-1990. The clapboard home was sold to Fitzgerald’s in 1990.

Terry Klein at the grill
Neither rain nor snow, sleet nor hail, nor dark of night keeps Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction cook Terry Klein from manning his year-round 40-year post at the restaurant’s outdoor grill, where he cooks honey barbecue chicken and bourbon barbecue pork ribs over lump charcoal. The homemade house barbecue sauces are a well kept family secret that has been passed down through the generations.

Anna Popenhagen serves up fish boil dinner
Offering service with a smile, Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction front-of-the-house manager, Anna Popenhagen, serves up the restaurant’s signature Door County fish boil dinner on a recent Friday. The fish boil dinner includes all-you-can-eat North Atlantic cod, small red potatoes, a small sweet onion, house recipe coleslaw, salted rye bread and an apple square dessert. Served with drawn butter, the taste and texture of the boiled cod is very close to that of lobster.

The restaurant’s popular heritage of serving up traditional Door County fish boils dates back to the restaurant’s 1978 founding.

Restaurateur Kevin Fitzgerald is the second generation owner of Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction, 727 Main St., Genoa City. Founded by his parents, Jack and Sue Fitzgerald, in Twin Lakes in 1978, the restaurant moved in 1990 to its current home in the historic octagon-shaped Welcome J. Miller House, built in 1852. Along with its signature Door County-style fish boils and lump charcoal-grilled barbecue chicken and ribs, Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction also offers an array of full service bar selections including sodas, bottled beers, spiked seltzers, malternatives, martinis, wines by the glass or carafe, and a wide variety of specialty drinks.
