Frosty: Week 1 Clue
A new person was chosen,
Who will wear the suit?
The information given each week,
For ideas to take root
A long time Waseca resident,
Known by many or all
Can be seen out and about
No event too big or too small
An involved citizen,
With much to their name
A commitment to the community,
Like past Frosties, now the same.
