Sturgeon Bay Festival Looking for Carvers

A sailboat, carved by Max Martin, took 1st Place in the 2009 Intermediate Category.

Sturgeon Bay Visitor Center (SBVC) is planning its first event of the New Year, the Fire & Ice Weekend to be held February 12 – 14. The organization is currently looking for creative carvers to sculpt ice and snow blocks into cool works of art!

The carving starts on Saturday morning, 9 am and is expected to be completed and ready for judging at 2 pm with winners receiving cash prizes and ribbons for their efforts. A special “Peoples Choice” award will also be awarded with a prize and ribbon as well.

In 2009, a small group of professional carvers created some very large snow carvings; this group, which includes national and international carvers, will be back again to display their award-winning skills on blocks of snow placed around town.

Additional activities for the Fire & Ice Weekend include the annual Dinner Dance & Silent Auction Saturday night at Stone Harbor Resort. The festive evening will include a fabulous meal, followed by fiery hot music for dancing with the Milwaukee Bucks House band, Streetlife!
