Ice Carving 2012

December 16, 2012 by Lois Britton 2 Comments

Ready for the teams
The old Town Hall, the city’s Christmas tree and the whipping post
My favorite souvenir shop – selling locally made arts and crafts
Now I understand why they flock Christmas trees
Beautiful – but don’t forget your thermals
Post Euro – fewer football themed carvings
The big winner, split between the two member team, 750 euros isn’t bad for a day’s work

The ice carving competition that almost wasn’t – that’s how I’ll remember this year’s event.  Things were scaled down, smaller, but the old square would have been so empty without it.  The weather has been below freezing for the last week – just right for ice carving.   No worries about the statuary melting too soon.  Everything has looked beautiful with a light covering of snow and ice – spoken like someone who doesn’t have to get myself to work every day.
