Description
Members of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity construct their snow sculpture for the 1962 King Kold Karnival. One student stands on top of the sculpture watering it down with a hose. Two students use a shovel, rake, and a broom to begin shaping the sculpture. The winter festival known as the King Kold Karnival was a staple at UND from 1951-1968. The event usually included contests, sled races, dances, beauty pageants, and most notably large snow sculptures. A brief resurgence emerged in 1979 but was not continued.
