3613. Powder the snowman


Powder the snowman was born on October 3, 1998 just in time to make the necessary preparation for Christmas. Powder is such a funny snow man and thought of the white snow as some sind of a talcum powder. His idol is Frosty the snow man and someday he wants to be just like him and perhaps he could also have that is made just for him too.

Hardee's is a restaurant chain, located mostly in the Southeast and Midwestern regions of the United States. It has evolved through several corporate ownerships since its establishment in 1960. It is currently owned and operated by CKE Restaurants. Along with its sibling restaurant chain, Carl's Jr., Hardee's is the #5 U.S. fast-food restaurant chain after Subway, McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. It is headquartered in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.

Hardee's founder, Wilbur Hardee, opened his first restaurant in Greenville, North Carolina, on September 9, 1960. On the strength of its manly menu items, including the Huskee, the chain experienced rapid growth by franchising and, to a lesser extent, by acquiring other restaurant chains. The first company store opened in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in May 1961 by James Carson Gardner and Leonard Rawls on McDonald St. in downtown Rocky Mount. That location has since been razed.[8] According to Wilbur Hardee, Gardner and Rawls won a controlling share of the company from him in a game of poker. After realizing that he lost control over his namesake company, Hardee sold his remaining shares to them as well. The chain was headquartered in Rocky Mount until 2001.

  1. My husband and I have this same snowman in red...do you know if they might be worth anything? We have looked everywhere and have not been able to find it. Yours is the closest thing we have discovered. Ours is still in its original packaging and we just wanted to know if it was worth anything.
