Winterfest

This past weekend we had our annual Winterfest.
You never know what the weather is going to be.
Some years it's been above freezing and the ice sculptures
melted fast.
This year the wind was blowing and I froze.
I think it was successful this year.
This is one of the sculptors.











All the stores and businesses have an ice sculpture in
front of the business.







Eiffel Tower






A very cute fish!!






This is a concrete fountain in the back of the pineapple.
The town had the fountain restored and they cover it in the winter.
It looks like a space ship has landed.
I think it looks awful but, I guess it will protect it.
Although it has been there for years and years.







I got out today and got a few groceries.
Tomorrow the weather people say it is going to get nasty
here. I am going to stay inside and hook.
Have a great day!

    Looks like fun but too bad Winterfest can't be in the summer when it is warm. It would be so much more enjoyable...lol!

  4. Sooooo pretty! I like the snowflake the best... though the fish is a close second! :-) Maybe they should have sculpted a martian to put in front of the fountain cover?!?!? lol! ;-)
