Help us name Louisville's snowplows!

Louisville, we need your help! Years of winter weather stripped away our snowplows' names, and now they're forced to namelessly wander the streets of Louisville! 

The City has seven (7) snowplows, and we need your help giving them names. Submit your name ideas between January 28–February 23. Our snowplow operators will narrow down the names, and your Youth Advisory Board will vote on the final seven names in early March. Please keep name ideas appropriate and respectful, for all of our community to enjoy. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
