Ice Carving for the Olypmic Championship!

This year we will host one of Kevin Gregory & Tony Young's final test runs of the ice carving that they will perform at the World Ice Championships held in conjunction with the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

This will be a crowd pleasing demonstration for us; and, a chance for Kevin & Tony to test themselves one last time under "contest conditions."
