As you can imagine, there are limitations to what folks can do outdoors when it's zero, or below. Even the most accomplished skier won't ski when the temperature is lower than -15. There is; however, an emerging event--ice sculpting competitions.
Ice activities begin in November with the presentation of the Turkey Carving (in ice) on Thanksgiving Day. Following this initial Holiday, this ice art will be transformed into a life size Santa Claus driving his sleigh pulled by his team of reindeer. (Visit our photos at: http://www.danielhauer.com/ to see this life size sculpture. Once you're on the site choose "portraits" and our name will appear)
BP hosted a Saturday picnic and free admission to the event. We enjoyed our short time there, and continue to be amazed at the "small world" in which we live. When we finally found two seats at a table in the cramped, small heated trailer they were next to a couple who hailed from San Antonio! They've been in Fairbanks since 1991 and now call this home.
The children’s play area features playground equipment made entirely of ice and snow.
Take a stroll thru the ice sculptures and ENJOY!
Ray was brave and took a wild ride down the ice slide!
He then tried out the kiddie slide.
