“Vanilla Ice” could be the largest snowman ever constructed in Tryon. The snowman, which stands in Thompsons Landscaping parking lot on Palmer Street, was built Tuesday night by employees of several businesses. The 12-foot-tall, 4-to-5-feet-wide snowman took four hours to build with nine people and a ladder. Businesses that helped build the snowman include Bravo Interiors, Thompson’s Landscaping, Sidestreet Pizza, Morgan Keffe Builders and Tryon House. (photo by Leah Justice)
