MICHIGAN | Block #15
Team Name: The Three Amigos
Sculpture Title: Kindness No Matter How Small
Artist Statement: We’re all like the lion sometimes – being disturbed while we’re doing something important or roused from a nice nap (by kids or mice, take your pick). But like the lion, being generous and kind even to the smallest of things has a way of coming back to you in unexpected ways.
Team Members:
- Nick Bovid (Captain): Nick is the medium aged and middle sized of the 3 Amigos. While attending Michigan Tech he experienced the famed Winter Carnival in Houghton, MI for several years and participated in working on a few sculptures during that time which sparked the original interest. Captain Nick's crew at home consists of three crazy boys and a fine first mate of a wife. Nick's fondest memory of the Lake Geneva experience was pulling out the 3rd Place People's Choice win in 2020 even with the unfavorable weather conditions at the end. Also the Wisconsin beer.
-
Chris Bovid: Christopher Bovid is the oldest and wisest of his brothers. When he isn't carving snow he lovingly waits hand and foot on his amazing wife, Karen, and their two boys, Michael (11) and Zachary (9) in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He also practices business, contract, and real estate law to help hone his snow carving skills. Chris's fondest memory of the Lake Geneva experience was getting to know the fun and hilarious staff at Sprecher's Pub, which had sponsored The Three Amigos in 2020.
-
Stan Bovid: Stan is the youngest and smallest of the 3 Amigos. While lacking in relative size, he more than compensates with his exceptional ingenuity and charming wit. When he’s not carving snow, you can probably find him supporting, coaching, or driving his three kids to sporting or school events. Stan has a career in science and engineering, but has yet to apply this knowledge to any meaningful snow carving achievements. As a self-diagnosed sarcastic optimist, he thinks this might be the breakthrough year. Stan enjoyed touring the town during his prior Winterfest experience and engaging with the local community supporting the event. The enthusiasm and appreciation for the sculptors was unrivaled by other competitions and he is excited to return.
