ICYMI: Bernie The Snowman Comes To Life As Northport Sculpture
Check out this story from earlier in the week on Northport Patch.
NORTHPORT, NY — Northport Village Park is feeling the Bern. Well, the #FreezerBern, according to the man who sculpted a snow replica of Sen. Bernie Sanders wearing mittens at President Joe Biden's inauguration last month.
Brandon Myles Osman, 36, of Northport, began carving the snow version of the senator Saturday morning in his yard. Starting with a massive snowball, Osman shaved away until Snow Sanders took form. Five hours later, Osman's work was done.
Friends and neighbors took notice. Wanting to share his work with more people, Osman brought his sculpture to Northport Village Park.

"That's when I had the crazy idea to transport the frozen sculpture (which probably weighed about 150lbs or more!) in the back of my Jetta to the town of Northport for all to appreciate (at least for that fleeting moment before it rained)," Osman told Patch via Facebook.
