Appleton Avenue Of Ice 2023

Here are pictures from the 2023 Avenue of Ice. They seemed to have a tropical/vacation theme.

I gotta say, I was not particularly feeling it this year. I guess it was fun enough, and there were a few fun designed; however, the sculptures overall come off as very corporate and staid and don’t feel particularly creative. They also had a few repeats including the judges hammer which has appeared at least twice, and then penguin waiter, if I recall correctly, has appeared for the third year in a row.

Here’s a sculpture that looked like it melted or got messed up in some way. The image it was supposed to be displaying was not clear even in person, much less on camera. It looked like it might have had a sea horse on it.
