The main attraction of this community event, the Live Ice Carving, begins on Thursday evening at 5pm and continues on Friday from 5pm-8pm. Carvers use chain saws, propane torches and hand tools to turn blocks of ice into an array of artistic sparkling masterpieces.
A special fireworks display will be featured Saturday at 6:30pm from the Southgate Mall and is not to be missed.
The Chili Cook-Off will again be the “hot” event! This sixth annual event will have even more entries offering their rendition of the winter way-up, from extra spicy to gourmet.
