"I think it's very aggressive," Trustee John Amrich said during a recent village board meeting. "I don't really think we should have that snowball fight." Amrich said he was concerned such a large event might place the village at risk for personal injury, property damage, or other lawsuits. The current Guinness World Record for the largest snowball fight involved 2,473 people in Graubunden, Switzerland, Jan. 18, 2003.
