In the centre of Filbrook, Manitoba, an enormous snowman has stood through winters and summers for over thirty years. His name is Harry.

"He's about the size of four Shaquille O'Neals, four high and two wide. Imagine that," says Doug Garland, whose job it is to keep Harry from melting.

But that job comes with a great expense. This summer, the town spent $225,000 keeping Harry from melting. Members of city council believe that money would be better spent elsewhere.

The town is divided into two factions: Those who've become emotionally attached to the eternal snowman, and those who favour of a melting party.

Rookie reporter, Lauren Ash, visits the town of Filbrook. Listen to the full story and discover what the future holds for Harry in a piece called The Iceman Goeth.
