LAKEVILLE — Each year, ole-man winter blows an icy blast of creative inspiration into the team of ice carvers at Sculpted Ice Works. These talented professionals create Crystal Cabin Fever, an indoor, interactive display and this year’s theme is the “Caribbean in ice!” Come experience elements of the Caribbean Islands sculpted from over 100 tons of ice! Daily, through the end of February, you may walk through a life-sized ice tiki hut and explore an ice treasure maze. Ride this years dual-run pirate ship ice slide to guarantee twice the fun! See ice dolphins, a coral reef display, reptiles, birds and much more all carved out of ice. Live ice carving shows and demonstrations will be ongoing. Bring your camera and thirst for free hot chocolate. On Saturdays, February 20 & 27 check out the live ice carving competitions from 12-4 p.m. On Feb. 20 professional carvers compete for cash prizes in a nationally sanctioned NICA carving competition and on Feb. 27 carvers duel in a multi-sculpture elimination event.
