More ice than ever will be flying around the Historic Medina Square on Valentine’s Day Weekend as KeyBank presents the 2009 Ice Festival. In cooperation with Elegant Ice, Main Street Medina, and Main Street Café, the 2009 festival will feature three ice carving competitions, ongoing demonstrations, face painting, and carriage rides. This family-friendly event is free. While most of the carving and demonstrations are done in the late afternoon and early hours, 2009 marks the first time that sculptures will be illuminated at night. Aaron Costic, Olympic Gold Medallist in Ice Carving and owner of Elegant Ice, will place color-changing L.E.D. fixtures under each work of art. The sculptures will be lit with multiple colors to highlight details, and will truly make this year an around-the-clock experience.
The Ice Festival begins on Friday night, February 13th, at 5:00pm with carving demonstrations by Elegant Ice and Ice Carving Olympic Gold Medallist, Aaron Costic. The Festival continues on Saturday, February 14th with the Main Street Medina Ice Festival Corn Hole Tournament at 11am, carriage rides from 1-4pm, and an Individual Ice Carving Competition from 1-4pm. Please visit www.mainstreetmedina.com for registration and additional Ice Festival information.
On Sunday, February 15th, a Team Ice Carving Competition will be held from noon-4pm. Some of these ice sculptures will be crafted from more than 10 blocks of ice, and can reach over 12 feet tall. A Speed Carving Competition with competitive rounds will begin at 5pm, and then continue at 6 and 7. Carriage rides will be available from 1-4pm
The event concludes on Monday, February 16th, with the opportunity to view the works of art created for the competitions, and to explore, dine, shop, and discover all that the Historic District in Medina has to offer.
