More than 20 giant inflatable snowmen have taken over Warren Place in Montclair. The tradition started two years ago with long-time resident Ann McCarthy. In a short time, it has “snowballed” into this very unique holiday spectacle. But it’s not just for decoration. This year’s display is raising money for Toni’s Kitchen, which helps provide healthy meals to those in need in West Orange, Montclair and Bloomfield. 🎥 @andremalok #nj #newjersey #christmas #essexcountynj #snowmen | NJ.com
