Dozens of frozen figures were taking shape Sunday at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, where the St. Paul Winter Carnival’s Drive-Thru Ice and Snow Sculpture Park opens Thursday.
Although the works of carved ice and sculpted snow won’t be competing for prize money this year, fans of these arctic art forms will be able to view them from the warmth of their vehicles for between $20 and $35 (plus fees). Bus admission is $50.
There will be 16 ice carvings, 17 snow sculptures, hot air balloons, special theme days and gift bags.
