I received an email just this week from a distant relative who for an unknown reason was in Alaska and had pictures of this very event.

If it weren't fifteen degrees colder when the sun went down, I'd check it out in the evening.<br /><br /> I don't even think I have a sundress. Maybe I'll invent a snowdress insulated with flannel or shearling and make a fortune. Though I will have to earn my fortune by figuring out just how to make insulation slimming.<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-26802122089927541302012-02-08T21:25:13.120-08:002012-02-08T21:25:13.120-08:00@Elephant's EyeWith names like Qifeng and Ze A...@<a href="#c9040363149964510840" rel="nofollow">Elephant's Eye</a>With names like Qifeng and Ze An, Lingzhi Zhang, Yanlong Feng, and Qunli Ma, I'm going to say Chinese, but what I know of east Asian names would fit on the head of a pin.<br /><br />We're just glad they took the time to carve out a children's interactive gallery, such fun!<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-7938052815251193782012-02-08T21:03:30.484-08:002012-02-08T21:03:30.484-08:00@Lisa at GreenbowI think the hot pretzel was what ...@<a href="#c1747486493467713418" rel="nofollow">Lisa at Greenbow</a>I think the hot pretzel was what initially lured me out.

Yikes, that stuff is cold on a winter's eve!<br /><br />The ice sculptures are still standing as it's been far too cold for them to melt yet.
