Meet Snowflake Ambassadors, Ella, and Victoria

If you follow us on social media, you know our brand ambassadors. These gymnasts work hard both in and out of the gym and share their love for gymnastics and Snowflake leotards with the digital world. They are influential figures for gymnasts of all ages. For this week’s blog, we decided to hand things over to two of our lovely ambassadors so that they could tell you some of their gymnastics stories and experiences! Both of our amazing ambassadors decided to share the stories of how they got started in gymnastics, and what kinds of challenges and experiences they faced during this time.

First up is Ambassador Ella! She is here to share her story of starting competitive gymnastics a little later than her team at a gym far from her home, and how she has grown to be a strong gymnast despite these obstacles and her careful nature.

Ambassador Ella's Story

‘Twas the Night Before the Gym Meet

Written by Kaitlyn Gilman

Inspired by the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore

‘Twas the night before the gym meet, and throughout all the gyms

Gymnasts were practicing their skills, and stretching their limbs.

They wished each other luck as they headed outside,

And drove home for dinner, homework, and bedtime.

The gymnasts then nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of victory danced in their heads.

The next morning they rose, all ready and rested;

Prepared to perform their best; prepared to be tested.

Now floor, now bars, now vault, now beam!

Gymnasts hear the cheers from the crowd and their team!

As events come to a close, the gymnasts converge

To see which winners emerge.

Spotlight on Snowflake Designs in the Clovis Roundup!

Written by Olga Mueller

Snowflake Designs was recently featured in The Clovis RoundUp, and the article spotlights the growth, quality, and spirit of Snowflake Designs - and we couldn't be more pleased! You can read the full article from the Clovis RoundUp online, but here's a quick highlight.

Where it All Began

LaDonna Snow, founder of Snowflake Designs, started the company 29 years ago when she started making leotards for her then 2-year-old daughter.

Moms would ask where she bought her daughter's leotards, and when they found out that LaDonna made them herself, the orders started coming in, and a business was born.

When the business first started, LaDonna sold her leotards from a rack in the back of her van. Parents would stop her to purchase

Snowflake Designs Wins Family Business Award in 2016

We were honored to receive the Institute for Family Business Rising Star Award in 2016 for outstanding family businesses that haven't quite yet been passed through generations. We are so proud to be a family-owned business and it meant so much to our family just to be nominated.

When LaDonna Snow, CEO, stood at the podium while accepting the award, she knew the exact story that she would tell. Yes, she began this business entirely because her daughter Kindra was in gymnastics and she wanted to make her custom leotards so that her daughter would stand out at every competition. And yes, over thirty years later her daughter and her son-in-law work alongside LaDonna and Rick Snow every single day.
