Each year, the good citizens of Zurich mark the end of winter and the coming of spring by burning a snowman effigy in the town square. On Sunday, April 8, the Portland Swiss Association will host the Helvetia version on the Jakob Yungen House grounds with Swiss music and lots of visits among the good neighbors of Die Schweizer Kolonie Helvetia. Pull out your lederhosen und trachten and mark your calendars.
Looks like a quick, hot fire means a very warm summer
