Ms. Terri and I went to see some more snow sculptures today. The theme of this year’s Winter Festival is Fantasy and Folklore. These look like they came right out of some of the storybooks Mrs. Green read to me. This sculpture was taken from the Artist Howard Sievertson of Minnesota. He painted many paintings for the book "Tales of the Old Northshore" This is part 2 of the snow sculpture above. Howard Sievertson's Tales of the Old North Shore
I went with Ms. Terry for a couple more pictures in Ely. Here I am with the first snow sculpture of the Ely Winter Festival. Nancy Scheibe carved it in front of her coffee and tea house called “The Front Porch.” Her business is also the headquarters for the Ely Winter Festival. Here I am with Nancy Scheibe who carved the first snow sculpture of the 2011 Ely Winter Festival. The other carvers will start carving their snow sculptures tomorrow. Artist Nancy
