Snowy Farr

1919; d. Oakington, Cambridgeshire, 8 March 2007) was a British charity fundraiser who mostly operated in the streets of Cambridge, England.

[1] Farr was usually seen in eccentric clothing, often incorporating antique military wear, and accompanied by tame animals, including mice, cats, dogs and even a goat.

[citation needed] In September 1977, Farr led a procession of 150 children around Cambridge city centre, filming for a TV show which never went ahead.

[2] Within a short time, suggestions were made on a local newsgroup[5] that a statue to Farr ought to be erected near the site at the end of Petty Cury where he habitually collected.

A Snowy Farr memorial artwork, designed by Gary Webb,[6] was unveiled outside the Guildhall in Cambridge's Market Square in August 2012.
