Ice Sculptures!

Sorry the pictures are mixed up but it has been so long since I have posted I forgot how to down load them so they would be in order. So here it goes: This year the city of Donnelly wanted to do an ice sculpture for the McCall Winter Carnival. McCall does this every year and it is a big celebration for two weeks the last week of January and the first week of February. Anyway the Donnelly Chamber decided to round up some of the local folks and get to work! Randy Priest came up with the idea to do a skull and a maze. We had three nights to put this together, since it it made with snow we had to work at night in the cold! I have never done anything like this before and I must say I had a great time. We were very fortunate to have a lot of volunteers for this project. I think that it turned out pretty good for out first one. Can't wait to see what we come up with next year!
Putting stakes in the top of the maze walls to attach fabric.

This is how we made the walls. we used tubs and mixed slush turned them upside down and then filled in the space with more slush.
