Pictures From Carnival Snow Sculptures.

Ok, to understand the COOLNESS of this, These people spend days working on their pieces. It takes a day to MAKE the snow blocks. Which in years past I've been able to help. There is this huge box. That you get lifted into by a bobcat, lifter thingy. Then the bobcat dumps in snow and you stomp it down packing it into the box. Then you are lifted out and down and the box (much like a spring form pan) is taken down and put up in a different spot. Until all the blocks are made.

We did not take a lot of pictures because it was like -9 and the camera kept freezing!

This one was called Chinese New Year. It won 2nd place.

First place was a pig driving a John Deer Tractor pulling a rooster...I didn't think it was that special. We liked the Mr. Potato Head sculpture.

Roo was excited to sit on the "firetruck" He really wanted someone to sit i the back, but Sissy was being a pill and was too cold. We did go for a real Firetruck ride and the guy driving the thing was INSANE! He was flying around the fair grounds and the ride was L.O.N.G. I could barely hang on for myself , hold Roo and Hold our scarves to our faces. Hardy bunch we are...

Hardy bunch of fools! Butter cried the whole time that she was cold. It WAS cold, but she didn't want to listen to us when was suggested other mittens and scarf...so it was her OWN fault. Plus she didn't want to wear socks in her boots. Roo had a blast and decided for himself that one firetruck ride was enough! (Thank goodness, Rob and I were going to draw straws to see who had to go again!) We were unable to stay long enough to see the Hot air balloons, Butter was a mess. That really warms things up when they get those going! It was a good day. Could have been warmer though.
