About a dozen 10-foot cubes of compacted snow were delivered onto the Kidway of Machinery Hill this week, and today was a working day for the sculptor teams to put their creations together. This year a new feature was added; a giant snow slide that Wynn and I took a ride on (very fast and no way to brake...)
They had speakers up around the perimeter of the grounds playing Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers tunes - it's cold enough now as I write this in the evening that I can hear the music, and we are about a mile away...
That's Wynn and Baba in the orange sled! |
