Local snowman builders to be featured on international television

Saultite Sarah Lewis, along with her stepson Wyatt and son Russell, are scheduled to be featured in the Good News segment of Live with Kelly and Ryan this Thursday to share their snowman building story.

You might remember SooToday's feature about the family raising money for charity earlier this month.

When Sarah and her family first pitched the idea of a “pay what you can” snowman building service, they weren’t generating much interest.

But after being featured on SooToday, they started receiving more orders than they could handle.

And now, their reach has traveled all the way to national television. 

Live with Kelly and Ryan is a popular American morning talk show hosted by Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, formerly hosted by Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan (Live with Kelly and Michael) from 2012-2016, and is best remembered as Live! With Regis and Kelly with Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa from 2001-2011. 

Tune in to watch Lewis and her family this Thursday at 9 a.m. on CHBX Channel2. 

“We started the business with the goal of generating as many smiles per snowman as possible and we have done just that! We were astounded at how far reaching the positive impact has been – even receiving support from across Ontario! We are proud to say we have now reached even further. We have an amazing opportunity to generate even more smiles across the globe. Take it from us, don’t give up on the things you believe in,” Lewis wrote in a recent Facebook post.
