St. Louis Park's Snowplow Naming Contest Heats Up As Deadline Approaches

The clock is ticking for aspiring wordsmiths and clever pun enthusiasts in St. Louis Park, as the city's second annual snowplow naming contest draws to a frigid close at the stroke of midnight today, October 4. Residents possessing a knack for naming have been submitting their "punniest" and most creative snow-related monikers via an online submission platform, hoping to etch their lexical artistry onto one of the city's snow-clearing beasts.

St. Louis Park's call for entries, cast out into the digital wilds of social media in search of a worthy winner, has garnered considerable attention, a reflection of the community's engagement and perhaps a communal yearning for levity amidst the inevitable march of the season's residents, they have been invited to pitch their wittiest ideas via a Facebook post and join the ranks of last year's triumphant entries, according to the City of St. Louis Park announcement.

The winner of this cool contest will not only enjoy the bragging rights that come with having their submission emblazoned on a snowplow but will also be treated to an exclusive ride on their namesake plow, a take-a-photo opportunity with the plow and its crew, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Municipal Service Center—it's a full-package prize for one lucky linguistic artist.

Lest procrastination leave you out in the cold, now's the time to send in your clever suggestions before the deadline sweeps past; the city has made the entry process as painless as winter's first flurry, requiring only a visit to the provided link and a moment of inspiration with the promise that the winning name will carry through the wintry battles ahead, streets and avenues becoming theaters where the plows, bearing the marks of the people’s wit, make their stand against the snow.
