Looking for something to do this weekend other than battling the throngs of shoppers or sitting at home watching the same tired old movies on television? Come join us for a day of Christmas cheer at the home of Saint Nick in North Pole. Christmas in Ice events scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) include:
* Kids ice carving competition 10:00am - 2:00pm.
* Interior Freight Dogs Practice Pull 12:00pm - 2:00pm
* Ice carving viewing and awards ceremony 3:00pm
* Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony 4:00pm
* Winter Carnival Fireworks Display (North Pole Mall) 5:00pm.
As luck would have it, Mother Nature appears to be prepared to cooperate with us. Weather reports indicate the temps should hover around 10 above with light snow.
Admission is $5.00 per day for adults and $3.00 for children under 12. Children under 5 are admitted free. A season pass is also available for $15.00 for adults and $9.00 for children.
This really sounds like a fun event and I would love to be there but there is just one problem--------that darn temp, I left my sorrels in Wisconsin when I left. ;-)
Hi Jesse: 10 degrees with light snow? Brrrr . . . and here I am complaining that our morning temperatures are in the 40s. I ran out to a home inspection yesterday without a coat and didn't realize until I got out of my car that it was 46 degrees. It was cold. See, snow puts it into perspective. :)
It is just incredible what you can do with clear ice and light. Remember the ice structures in the Arctic, they were involving professinal artistst and it was fascinating whatching them carve the ice with axes.
Jesse this is a beautiful photo. I have a question... what in the hell do you people do when mother nature does not cooperate with you? Hovering about 10 above huh? My goodness, you must have been sweltering!
I LOVE ice sculptures! I bet the kiddie carving contest would be really fun to watch. I'm always amazed at what these guys can create with frozen water. :-) I'm creative...but I just did not get that ice carving gene. GREAT STUFF! GBU~
Great Pictures Jesse, My wife surprised me for my 50th in August with a 12 day land/sea trip to Alaska. We started in Fairbanks. What breathtaking country.
No offense, But I'll pass on the winter. I would like to see Denali and northern lights in the winter though.
I would have like to attend this event but my wife probably won't go back to the snows or the cold. It is cold here, especially the last couple of days but at least the suns out now. Don't get me wrong, low to mid 60's in Hawaii is cold for us! Anyone planning or coming to Hawaii soon?
