Need a vacation? You may not find warm and sandy beaches
here, but the 3rd Annual Cripple Creek Ice Festival will be a great way to
unwind. Ice sculptors are sure to please as they transform the Cripple
Creek street-scape into something you would find "Under the
Sea." Sculptures will range from the mythical to the magical, and
spectators that enjoy watching the ice carving are invited to join us as
sculptors wield chainsaws and carving tools to create their masterpieces.
This family friendly event will have several activities for children and
adults, including an ice maze, an ice slide, the "Dueling Chainsaws"
competitions, a martini bar, and retail and food vendors on the street and in
the heated event tent. Visitors are encouraged to visit both weekends, as
sculptors will be carving throughout the two weeks and additional new ice
sculptures will be carved for the second weekend. Bring your snorkel,
bring your flippers, and join us for an "Under the Sea" getaway at
the 2010 Cripple Creek Ice Festival.
