It’s not often you see the words “giant globe,” “feisty” and “free” used in one sentence, but it happened. I swear to you. I will never forget the moment I received word telling me about this Sunday’s Snowbound! event at the Tacoma Art Museum. It’s a free event that involves a giant snow globe and some “Feisty Knitters.”

Sunday, the Tacoma Art Museum is hosting Snowbound! — a free community festival in which participants can step into a room-sized snow globe. Ever wondered what it’s like to be shaken up and instantly engulfed inside a whirlwind snowstorm?  Well, now’s your chance.  Tacoma artists Marc Dombrosky and Shannon Eakins have created a snowdrift using thousands of snowflakes made from recycled paper. To make the event even more festive, they’ve brought in The Rainier Ringers hand bell choir to fill the museum with joyful holiday music.

Watch Tacoma’s “Feisty Knitters” install knitted sleeves throughout the museum while you make snowflakes, sip on some hot cocoa, and join a knitting circle of your own this Sunday. Let some holiday cheer wrap itself around you inside a paper blizzard.

I bet you can’t think of anything else you’d rather be doing, unless my use of the word “feisty” put some other ideas in your head — in which case I hope to see you after Snowbound!

[Tacoma Art Museum, noon to 5 p.m., free, 1701 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.272.4258]
