The contest begins January 1 at the New Year's Day Celebration and runs through February 20, with the winner announced during Snow Roller Day.
Voting jars will be available in the Town Office (Jan 2–Feb 20). Cast your "votes" (aka U.S. dollars) early and often—and support as many candidates as you like!
