Downtown Frederick celebrated First Saturday with the theme "Fire in Ice". Mother Nature coorporated by dumping 8 inches of the white stuff back on January 26 and some of it stayed for the celebration. (Last February's First Saturday was delayed by a couple of feet of snow.) Thirty-five businesses and organizations sponsored ice sculptures. I made my tour before the crowds appeared and missed the ice sculpting demonstration (last image). More shots of downtown will be posted Thursday on Window Views.
Looks like a great, colorful First Saturday, Lew! Love your photos as always! In spite of the cold it looks so colorful and the ice sculptures are marvelous! Hope your week is off to a great start! Enjoy!
I joined the Header Challenge team in November. We post a new header each week on a suggested theme. Imac is the founder and head of the team. The members vote for best header and the winner gets the gold. The links above will take you to the other participants.

It's amazing what some artists can do with a chunk of ice!
Beautiful ice sculptures. These artists really do wonders. Have a nice day.
