The
snowman had melted. Well, not melted. You'd need snow for that.
This is Southern California. There is no snow
here, no real discernible winter, no
blizzards, no snowballs, no runny noses.
Those
wanting snow need only call Jeremy Vargus. Vargus is a partner in
RPI Entertainment, a group that puts on
elaborate snow-making productions
around the globe and down the street at the Simi Valley Town Center
every night until Saturday.
Vargus'
company has a patent on a special mix of chemicals that, when
blown, has the look and feel of snow. It melts
on contact and doesn't leave that
black, dirty snow that those in less fortunate climes are left with
after storms.
People
can't get enough of his faux snow, he said — they just don't want
to get cold feet while playing in it.
"I
think the notion of ‘Yes, I want to see snow but not be cold' is
right along with that Southern
California mentality that is the best of both worlds."
