Snow came to Richmond on Thursday, much to the delight of young and old alike, as the city hosted its 2nd annual snow day under a bright blue sky in Nicholl Park.

The City of Richmond and the Recreation Department partnered with [All Seasons Ice Company](https://www.allseasonsiceco.com/about?ref=grandviewindependent.com) to provide about 20 tons of the fluffy white stuff for this free event, which brought out families, local winter vacation camps, and those who just wanted a moment in a winter wonderland. 

The event featured a sizeable snowy hill for those who wanted to try out their sleds and saucers, and there was enough snow to engage in a hearty snowball fight or two.

The event also featured local vendors, and even Santa made time in his busy schedule to drop by for a visit.
