One 12-year-old girl got her wish for a castle when the artistry of one of our Ice Carving contestants carved a crystal ice castle complete with towers. Dad got his chance to fly a drone and ask all the questions he had about taking care of one. Eight-year-old Chelsea loves dolphins and bought a glass one leaping out of a glass wave. Grandpa and fifteen-year-old Dean took a ton of pictures of all the hot rods and fancy restored cars. Mom bought a blue heron carved spruce wood bench for the patio. Dora’s family went home with the newest in pots and pans. Finally, George left a note remembering his lost friend and listened to taps being played at the Memorial Day remembrance service.
A home show, with ice carving demonstrations, a hot rod car show, an art show with live artists working, chainsaw carving and auctions, and a Memorial Day Service are all part of the weekend. And that doesn’t even count all the games, the big purple slide, the pony rides and all the great food available.
