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 […]

Avenue Of Ice 2023 Currently Underway
The Avenue of Ice is taking place right now and over this weekend. They seem to have a tropical/vacation theme going on. It’s supposed to be 40 degrees tomorrow, so you may want to check the sculptures out sooner rather than later.
