ROCKFORD – The Pecatonica High School Snow Sculpting team brought home the Committee’s Choice Award this past Saturday, Jan.17, at the Illinois Snow Sculpting Contest held at Sinnissppi Park in Rockford. Their entry was title “Off the Rails” and looked like an old fashion steam locomotive. The team’s block sponsor was the IceHogs Charitable Foundation.

The Gazette caught up with the team last Thursday as the girls worked on their sculpture. The team, made up of all juniors, included Lexi Frederick, Charity Voskuil, Bailey Penwell and Kelsey Swanson. High school art teacher Jillian Torre served as the advisor.
