ICE CASTLE 2008
The 20th Anniversary Castle Year of Castle Building arrived and everyone who saw it owes a huge thank you to a very small, dedicated crew of men who built this against many obstacles, none the least of which was the lack of ice and snow!! We were all blessed with a very glorious Saturday to enjoy being out at the festival!
Cutting a channel for the ice blocks
removing the floating ice from the channel
setting a corner block
And YES it was freezing the water and the very dedicated workers!!!!
filling the slush buckets
loading up an ice block from the channel
Blocks being winched up the channel
Day 3 progress

Friday morning, February 15, 2008 . The castle is up and ready to be lit tonight!
Guess what, it's snowing and cold on this icy structure!
