Wow! It's been a fast month. Only one day left. Winter continues to abound, despite the calendar telling us it's Spring. The only thing about "spring" is that we "sprung" forward with our clocks several weeks ago!
While we've enjoyed temps above zero degrees for the past week, it did manage to snow on Friday and Saturday.
With snow still falling there's plenty to do that is snow-related. This month we attended the
*2009 World Ice Art Championships* which ran from Feb 24-Mar 29.
*2009 World Ice Art Championships* which ran from Feb 24-Mar 29.
Ice Alaska is in its 19th year hosting one of the largest annual ice art competitions and exhibitions worldwide. The Fairbanks event, the World Ice Art Championships, has grown to a month long attraction involving over 70 teams from all over the world. The competitions, and the accompanying kids park, attract more than 100 ice artists and approximately 45,000 visitors from Alaska and all over the world.
Ray & I are especially proud of the 3 Texans who took 2nd place in the multi-block contest with their carving titled "Stairway to Heaven."
Come along and see the fun!
P.S. The 10 PM Weather just said more snow this week. It's a good thing we're 11 days from going to San Antonio!!
