This sounds wonderful! Could Qakertown Alive consider having him stay past 7? To promote more of the evening aspect of this first Friday.

Beth,

To have someone like this is quite costly. It is a 2 hour "show" so to speak from beginning to end. There are other events going on as well after the ice sculpting demonstration and before. It will be very interesting for all age groups, adults and children. Hope to see you and your family there!

Where did the Ice sculptor set up shop? I was all over and didn't see him.

He set up right in front of the new Christmas tree...by about 630pm he was completely surrounded by people. It was awesome!
