Harford County's Snowball Trail highlights 17 local stands

ABINGDON, Md. -- All month long Harford County is celebrating the beloved snowball. 

The county has proclaimed August as Snowball Month and is celebrating the third year of its Snowball Trail.

This year's trail features 17 stops across the county.

"(You can) plan your weekend trip to see how many different snowball stands you can hit," said Megan Hallet of Visit Harford.

Benjamin Roberts, the owner of Island Ice in Aberdeen, said making a snowball is about "doing something very simple, very good."

At Friendship Snowballs in Abingdon, owner Matthew Roseland says the snowball trail has helped draw in business, but it's their snowballs that keep people coming back.

"We take pride in our presentation and what we do here," he said. "We love what we do, we love our community and I think we have top-notch products."
