Washington County’s first “Name a Snowplow” contest last winter was so popular that Public Works officials decided to do it again.
Residents are invited to help name two more of the county’s 26 snowplows; name suggestions can be submitted until Dec. 20.
County staff will review the submissions and bring forward the top ideas for voting from the public in January, when a winner will be selected.
Any submissions that include profanity or other inappropriate language will not be considered, Washington County officials said.
Names can be submitted online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/WCNameAPlow or submitted in person or through mail at Washington County Public Works North Shop, 11660 Myeron Road N., Stillwater, MN 55082.
Last year’s big winners were Plowabunga (433 votes) and Taylor Drift (405 votes). Plowabunga was dispatched to the southern half of the county for the most part; Taylor Drift worked in the northern part of the county.
