ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -- The St. Paul, Minn., Winter Carnival's snow-sculpting competition is back on after being canceled last week for lack of money.

The competition, in which artists use snow blocks to create their masterpieces, will begin Sunday morning, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Wednesday.

The Vulcans, a popular event fraternity symbolizing the warmth of spring, came to the rescue, pitching in about $10,000 to help host the annual winter attraction.

They've found ways to save $15,000 to $20,000 by forgoing snow-making machines and moving the event to the state fairgrounds, the newspaper reported.

"Leave it to the Vulcs to get it done in the 11th hour," said Kate Kelly, president of the St. Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation, which runs the carnival.

how does snow-sculpting symbolize the warmth of spring?

Really! Aren't they the oposite?
