At 3:30 p.m. on Friday, the thermostat in Hamilton read 41 degrees. The warmer temperature would be a welcome sight for most folks after frigid temperatures last week. But for Ice Fest, 200 blocks of ice needed to be kept from melting on High Street.
This year’s all movie-themed Ice Fest is titled: "Hamilton Goes Hollywood."
From Frozen:
Lion King
Star Wars sponsored by the Hamilton Classroom Teachers
There were 'seats' on the back side of the sleigh.
Miami Hamilton
The Polar Express with the Court House in the background
Jurassic Park
The temperature was in the mid-forties as we viewed the ice sculptures Saturday.
There were plenty of people walking around; taking pictures.

We walked inside the government building to see the trains.
Artisans had their wares for sale.
There were bugs and giraffes, cats and dogs.
And Richards pizza, of course.
