Ingenius - have kids name state plows so 20 years from now they'll support the roads budget.
Snow plows in the fleet of the Vermont Agency of Transportation visited children at more than 150 schools across the state, so the kids could see their school names on the heavy machinery.

"It's pretty cool that our school's getting represented," said Stella Parent, a fourth grader at the Orchard School in South Burlington.
Parent and her fellow students took inspiration from a "Star Wars" hero, voting for Obi-Wan KenSNOWbi as the plow to represent them.
