Frankenmuth fun is the destination for thousands of tourists this weekend.

For many, it's their first time taking in the sights and sounds of one of MidMichigan's largest attractions.

Scenes of sculptures are making a splash in Little Bavaria.

A dunk tank snow sculpture gets extra points for creativity.

There's also traditional favorites like Christmas characters. Rudolph's friends Yukon Cornelius and the reformed Bumble, also known as the Abominable Snowman.

When asked about the snow sculptures, Ryan Sherwood from Twining, Michigan says, "Well, they're nice and detailed." NBC25 asked him if he could create a snow sculpture. He said, "No. The best I can do is a block."

A popular piece is a snow spartan helmet, especially among Michigan State fans.

A snow octopus comes complete with suction cups on its tentacles.

Ronnie Boggs from Goodrich says, "It's my first year here. We've never come before. Never brought the kids, so thought it would be cool to see. So far, it's pretty cool. We just saw the ice sculptures and those things are awesome, works of art."

Snowfest 2010 wraps up Monday.
