Snowman Burning Day was first celebrated in March of 1971 at LSSU by the Unicorn Hunters. It was created to celebrate the transition from winter to spring, in a horrible sort of way. (Would you want to be burned just so other people can welcome a new season?!) The idea for Snowman Burning Day came from Germany's Rose Sunday Festival, where the mayor of each town burns a straw snowman to welcome spring, but only if the children of the town have been good all year!
