BETHEL, Maine (AP) — The world's tallest snowman, which is actually a snowwoman, is being unveiled in the western Maine town of Bethel.
"Olympia," named for Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, is said to be about 122 feet tall. That's 10 feet taller than "Angus, King of the Mountain," who has held the record as tallest snowman since 1999. He was named for Angus King, who was governor at the time.
Olympia's creators say she has eyelashes made from skis and bright red lips crafted from painted tires. She wears a giant pink hat and gets some bling from a snowflake pendant that's more than six feet in diameter. Her arms were created from pine trees.
