WE LIKED WHAT WE SAW

Unlike North America, the ice sculpture business in South Africa is strong according to James Cussen of Ice Art in Cape Town.  This ice bar was created for a GM conference organized by the Three Cities Group. Changing LED lighting completed the visual effect.
	Although the heat topped 40 degrees C, visitors to the South African Open Golf Tournament were able to try their hand at the Ice Art mini-putt green for four hours (before the melting stopped play !)
	Ketel One vodka  was served over this 8 ft ice bar which supported four luges at the Super Bowl in Miami this year.
	This sculpture was in Canada (how would you know ?) It was part of the Toronto Icefest.
	This portable ice bar designed as a caviar station was produced by Ice Blockers in Berlin for the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall between East and West Germany. Owner of the company, Steffen Winkler explained the bar had its own drainage system.
	The Ice Agency, Billingshurst, West Sussex, UK, sent this photograph of a 1.5 meter long sculpture of a cruise ship created for the Global Travel Awards in Britain.
Two attractive ice bars were displayed at the 13th Annual Canadian Event Industry Awards (CEIA) gala in Toronto. This event is associated with the Canadian Special Events and Meetings Expo (CSEME).  One bar featured a dragon with the head protruding from the bar top, and the other was a colorful cherry blossom design. Iceculture, Hensall, Canada created the designs.
	A neat Mother’s Day design featuring a butterfly tree. Add a few floral accessories and you have an eye-catching design.
	Carver, Terry Gouley, Ice Masters, Midland, TX put his chain saw down and tried his hand at politics when he entertained former, Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, at the culinary school.
It is not difficult to identify a particular carver’s work, especially when it comes to quality and two photographs from Arizona had the stamp of Dennis Fitzgerald all over them. A delicate portrait on a 36 in x 36 in slab with no seams and a statue of Venus di Milo.
