Snow sculptor Jean Pascal Brideau says the figure welcomes children to Congé de mars, Caraquet's March break festivities.
A New Brunswick artist has once again amazed his community with a new larger-than-life snow sculpture.
An 18-foot-tall Lego minifigure now stands in Caraquet, N.B. at the Place du vieux couvent on Saint-Pierre-Ouest Blvd.
Snow sculptor Jean Pascal Brideau says the figure welcomes children to Congé de mars, Caraquet’s March break festivities.
“I want the kids to be able to play (when they) go there,” Brideau said.
It took Brideau eight days to complete the figure, working 10-15 hours a day.
The sculpture is made nearly entirely from snow, with several wooden pallets propping it up and giving it height.
Brideau said he first puts a wooden frame in the ground and then pats on chunks of snow. He uses a chainsaw to sculpt the snow.
Though 95 per cent of the work was done by him, Brideau said he had a few helpers.
