Snowman Gallery at USU cancelled due to warm weather

The Student Alumni Association’s Snowman Gallery Walk at Utah State University was postponed after the backup plans fell through.

“We had some backup plans in place in case it didn’t snow,” said Britnee Bromley, the SAA activities chairman. “We didn’t count on it being this warm, so even the snow maker wasn’t an option.”

The event has been postponed until Jan. 29 and appropriate changes have been made.

“All of our advertising was for the Snowman Gallery Walk so we decided to keep it the same,” said Paige Sjoblom, the SAA public relations director. “We are just changing it so it is less holiday-themed and more winter-themed.”

The SAA is going to use the extra planning time to make the event better, according to Bromley

“We would be dumb if we didn’t do more advertising and get more clubs involved,” said Bromley. “Now we have more time to do more advertising and get more decorations.”

Most participants still plan to take part in the event, even with it being postponed.

“The clubs were disappointed,” Sjoblom said. “But a lot of people wrote back and told us to count them in for January.”

Although the event was delayed, it was not due to lack of planning on the SAA’s part.

“I don’t want anyone to think it was lack of preparation,” Bromley said. “It will still be a great event. It will be a fun thing to do right when we get back from break.”
