The Michiana Ice Carvers Association again was the highlight at the First Fridays Festival in Goshen, as they brought in 300 pound blocks of ice for the members to create their masterpieces.

Other Sculptures on exhibit

Winter Sleigh - 1800 lbs of ice - Corner of Main and Jefferson

Royal Ice Throne - 1800 lbs of ice - Main and Washington

Ice Angel - 900 lbs of ice - 136 S. Main

The Festival was Friday, January 1, 2016. I was unable to attend this year, but will be at the next event.

Good morning Larry. I have seen an event like the one you described, what a sight for sure. There are certainly some very talented ice carves.

Hi Larry. Sounds like a really neat event. I wonder how long the sculptures will last this year.

We are suppose to have 4 days next week above freezing. Sometimes vandals play a role in their longevity.

I have never watched someone live sculpt an ice block before. I imagine it would be fascinating.
