Colorado Springs, CO (Seiko Marketing) — The Old Colorado City Association of merchants is happy to announce that the ICE ON THE AVENUE Ice Festival is returning to Old Colorado City on January 16th & 17th of 2010 with most of the activities between 24th & 28th Street along West Colorado Avenue.
The event will feature a giant 50 ice block castle with three kid’s slides in Bancroft Park and also a Family Zone with an Ice Bowling Alley (with regular pins and ball) and a Drinking Luge in the parking lot next to Barbeque Mercantile. Also included for the first time is a King’s & Queen’s Throne where the public can interact and take photos. The plans for the 2nd Annual Ice on the Avenue also will include 15-25 different
statues sponsored by the sponsoring businesses of Old Colorado City.
There will also be several Ice Piggy Banks sponsored by different non-profits of the Pikes Peak region where donors can make immediate money donations to their favorite charities and be able to see their contributions inside the clear and hollowed ice sculptures. “We had close to 17,000 people come out for the 2009 Ice on the Avenue this year and we look forward to another large crowd in 2010,” said Charles Irwin, President of the OCCA merchants group. “I am very excited to present the 2010 Ice on the Avenue because we have Ice Sculptor William Sandusky, 3rd Place Winner at
the BP World Ice Art Championship 2009 sculpting for us and he’s got some incredible ice artwork to showcase to the public.”
Over 150 blocks of ice with each weighing 300 pounds will be used during the two-day event. There are plans to have an Ice Media Desk where 12 blocks of ice will be used to create an outdoor media set big enough for two people to report the news from the ice festival.
