Petoskey Stone Snowman Ornament
By Artists Market Artist Steve Webster

In 2009 it was the Petoskey Stone Pine Tree that everyone was trying to get their hands on. Last year it was the Petoskey Stone Bell This year, Downtown Petoskey again selected Northern Michigan Artists Market artist Steve Webster to create the Stafford's Holiday Parade Commemorative ornament, a Petoskey Stone Snowman. As in the previous two years, the ornament comes with a special holiday tag. It is for sale at the Northern Michigan Artists Market and other Downtown Petoskey locations.

Many of Steve's other creations, including bell and tree ornaments without the commemorative tag and a wide selection of Petoskey stone ornaments, are available at the Artists Market.
