What people come to see, and love,
Walton said, is pretty obvious. The ice
sculptures are the stars of the show.
“This year we have amazing cre-
ations and interactive sculptures that
people can touch and feel and get close

The ice throne and the ice bench
will be back for photo opportunities,
too, he said.
Another huge attraction is the fire
and ice exhibit which includes two 10-

weather permitting, both nights of the
show from about 7 or 8 p.m. and burn
for 2 to 3 hours.
“They illuminate the park area and
it's really neat,”Walton said.
“The crowds always like seeing ice
being carved. The carving schedule
this year will give people even more of
an opportunity to see the sculptures
being created. It's a really amazing
process - these sculptures start as big

hard work by some talented people,
they come to life with amazing detail,”

just across from the park. Walton said
