Snowflake

Snowflake is a growing rural community 25 south of Interstate 40. The community experiences a four-season climate with a warm (sometimes hot) summer, mild autumn, mild to cold winter and cool, windy spring. Typical high temperatures hover around 90 °F during July and August and 30 to 55 °F in December/January. Snowflake has a full calendar for residents and hosts many seasonal family events like Silver Creek Performing Arts Association, Thursday Night at the Park, GroundHog Breakfast, Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July Celebrations, Pioneer Days Celebration, Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch and 12 Days of Christmas.  In popular culture, the logging crew involved in the Travis Walton alien abduction incident lived in this town, and several events surrounding that incident happened here. These events were dramatized in the science fiction film Fire in the Sky (1993).  Snowflake is a very quaint little town that still puts flowers on the streetlights on Main Street and Christmas lights as well. Many of the surrounding communities like to visit Snowflake for doctors and medical as well as shopping, dining, golf and other retail.
