Frosty's Winter Wonderland Ends After 30 Years

Overview

• Forrest “Frosty” Nunley announced he is retiring the free holiday display he built at his Avenues home after three decades of running Frosty's Winter Wonderland.
• Nunley said long-running Parkinson's disease and a recent cancer diagnosis made the annual setup physically unsustainable and led him to change priorities.
• A public sale of the collection saw people line the street and nearly all vintage lights, blow molds, and figures sell out within minutes of opening on Saturday.
• The display grew from a few extra decorations into a community landmark that created multigenerational traditions and personal moments such as proposals and family visits.
• Nunley plans to spend more time with relatives at his Moab farm, kept about 100 pieces for his family, and sent the rest into new homes where they are likely to become personal keepsakes.
