Here is an excerpt from the Newspaper article.
?Heibel is one of the last snow globe repairmen in the country. He'll
add new glass and water, fresh snow or glitter. Broken figures will be
repaired or replaced and musical movements fixed and tucked back into
the bases. This time of year is his busiest, as globes come out of
storage broken or get broken while on display. The busy time runs
through January because snow globes received as presents get broken,
sometimes by visiting grandchildren.?
