Johnny's SummaryWelcome to Camden Winterfest
Saturday, January 28, 2012!!!
The Camden Winterfest returns for its 10th annual community celebration of winter on Saturday January 28th,2012. Presented by The Camden Public Library and the Winterfest Committee along with local sponsors.
The Winterfest Committee has joined with a group of ice skating enthusiasts to create, in the Camden Amphitheatre, an ice skating rink for annual free, season-long use by the community! A special custom-sized rink-will once again be constructed in the Amphitheatre.
A team of volunteers, the “Friends of the Amphitheatre Ice Rink,” has raised money for the purchase and construction of the rink and have volunteered to keep it clear and maintained for skaters. All the relevant Powers That Be have given their approval, so it’s a definite “go”! The Committee is very excited about how well we hope the rink will fulfill the original goal of the Winterfest: to enliven the public parks as true venues for fun and relaxation by all members of our community.
The centerpiece of Winterfest activity remains the Community Ice Carving Event.Community members transform ordinary blocks of ice into crystaline ice sculptures using the traditional tools of the ice-carving artisan. Chef Tim Pierce of the Samoset Resort donates his time to teaching the the craft of ice sculpting.
With or without snow families are encouraged to come and play. A merry band of culinary volunteers serve a variety of delicious hot soups and light snacks donated by local restaurants. Children's crafts will be in the Picker room.The warm rotunda of the library hosts live music by All That Jazz.
The Winterfest Committee would like to Thank : The Camden Public LIbrary, The Town of Camden, Camden Fire Department, Camden Parks and Rec Department, Aqua Maine, The Friends of the Amphitheatre Ice Rink, The First, Phi Home Designs, EBS, & The CRL Chamber of Commerce.
Happy Winter!!
