We're in the midstof our annual communitywise winter celebration here in Rochester. They pretty much have it all for things to do. If you run there's a half-marathon. Ice sculptures abound. Food vendors are everywhere. Like water? They have the "polar plunge" in one of the city's numerous lakes....just hop right off the edge of a huge hole cut in the ice and make the 20' walk to shore and a hot tub. This shin-dig also boasts having the largest bar made entirely of ice in the country.
Kind of amazing watching some of the drinks getting made. They'll pour the booze into the top of a sculpture that funnels the sauce down and out a spout to chill it. I think it runs thru like four feet of piping to get to the glass. And speaking of glass[es], you can order your pet sauce served up in a glass made of ice.
Mr Welch.....you'd love this party in your new hoodie. Ma and I have a basketball game at three this afternoon and then we plan to take a stroll thru the party held in ice. Carole might enjoy a margaurita, but I'll stick to my pepsi....maybe even a hot chocolate.
