Ice Sculptures and Sculptors in Uptown For The Holidays
Saturday, December 20
See holiday carved ice sculptures created by our favorite frozen sculptors “Rock on Ice”.
The carvings will be in front of different businesses so stroll around Uptown to see them all.
Check in front of Amish Originals, Buckeye Brewcraft, A Gal Named Cinda Lou, Good Vibes and Grandfather Clock Company before looking for any others.
Included in the afternoon of frozen delights is an interactive “Autograph Ice Block” where as many as 200 families are invited to put their name on a block of ice and then later take it home. Check the patio at Jimmy V’s. from 1 to 3.
And, watch for Santa who will surprise shoppers with candy and treats in the afternoon. He’s tricky about where he’s going to be so take your time and look for him with his elves.
