The streets of Oakland soon will be decorated with a variety of ice sculptures, as the fourth annual Winter Fest will get under way tomorrow, Feb. 18, and run through Sunday evening. The sculptures will be lighted, and a drive through the town in the evening can be particularly engaging for sightseers. The weather could possibly hamper the festival a little bit, as after months of bitter cold, the area is to experience a warm spell. However, Saturday’s high is to be just 37, so the sculptures should remain intact. Many will be placed and lighted Friday night, and more will be carved “live” throughout the day on Saturday by returning artist Bill Sandusky of Frozen Assets. There will be “ice bowling,” a campfire with s’mores, other food, and music. Brochures with maps and activity listings will be available. Photo by Deb Swiger.
