Artists On Ice!

     We took two of our grand kids to
see the Rolling Stones yesterday.
      No. They were not in concert.
      They were in ice!
      Our Sunday excursion took us to
Clarks Summit for the community's
annual Ice Festival!
      Each year during President's Day
weekend merchants in and around
Clarks Summit invite the world to
their community to view a selection
of ice carvings set up throughout the
town.
     And the theme this year is "Rock
'N Ice." All  the ice sculptures, about
50, were carved to represent stars of
the music industry.
     Where else could you find Lady
Gaga, Michael Jackson, Justin
Timberlake, and the Beatles all on
the same "stage?"
     Of course Janis Joplin took some
explaining. To the kids that is.
     All the music wasn't frozen in
time! Several stores featured live
performances.
     And those free cookies and hot
chocolate tasted especially good with
temperatures hovering in the 20's.
     You've got to hand it to a carver
who can turn a couple blocks of ice
into a full set of drums! I can't even
carve a turkey!
    It's great to see a small town turn
itself into a tourist attraction. Especially
during the middle of a cold, snowy
February!  And who would have though
ICE would do it!
    Hope you'll slip into town to enjoy
it and that all your NEWS is good!
