Working hard or hardly working?

Working hard or hardly working?

Fire and Ice

On the first Friday of each month, downtown Canton hosts a special evening.  In January, the theme was ice sculptures.  The weather for the evening was appropriate .. 15 mph wind and 20 degrees!  No need to worry, those ice sculptures are not going anywhere!   




Fire & Ice
This is a very large ice sculpture with fire burning inside it!  
Truly amazing and the heat that was coming from it was even more amazing!  :)

Snowflex in Lynchburg, VA

We went snow tubing in Virginia!  No really with no snow!  Liberty Univeristy has this fake snow trail and lodge on the side of a mountain.  This is what their website says...Snowflex is a synthetic material designed to simulate the slip and grip effects of snow. The most innovative surface on the market, Snowflex has a misting system that keeps it moist, maximizing speed and edge control. Snowflex retains its shape year-round.
