Church brings snow for Christmas in Florida

BRADENTON, Fla. -- A Florida church says about 10,000 people turned out to see something kind of miraculous for the balmy state - a hill of snow.

Bayside Community Church trucked in 25 tons of snow for a four-day "Family Christmas Spectacular."

The Bradenton church's director of events, Gregg Ellery, tells The Herald ( http://bit.ly/tw9Z9H) that most of the snow was piled into a hill about 55 feet long and 15 feet tall.

Children up to age 18 were allowed to take rides down the big snow hill on orange and green discs. A smaller snow pile was made for toddlers to play in.

The event also included a live nativity scene including two camels, a petting zoo and pony and train rides. It ended Saturday.
