Winter Carnival Jigsaw Puzzle Contest - January 30th, 2016

72 teams competed to finish this PuzzleTwist® jigsaw puzzle created for the St. Paul Winter Carnival. With the Winter Carnival celebrating 130 years, the jigsaw took contestants on a historical tour of this annual winter celebration. Teams learned all about the legend of the carnival with buttons that included King Boreas, the Vulcans, the Bouncing Team and Klondike Kate as well as past carnival events including ice palaces, ice skating and toboggan races.

If you’re up to the challenge… you too can match your puzzle skills against some of the nations best as you complete this jigsaw of the coolest celebration on earth! Puzzle available at the Landmark Center Gift Shop and online.
