Mid-January "Hunter Ice Festival" 2021 -- NIles, MI 49120 -- community gatherings cancelled -- Ice Sculptures continue

https://www.abc57.com/news/hunter-ice-festival

from Meteorologist John Hammersmith (ABC 57):

The Hunter Ice Festival starts today (Friday 1/15) in Niles Michigan and will last through the weekend and into next week, as long as the ice sculptures stay frozen. The ice sculptures can be found near Riverfront Park in downtown Niles. This year will be more ice, and less festival. People are encouraged to come out to see the ice sculptures, but make sure to be masked up and keep distance between others.

Yes, there will be ice. 

No, it will not be a Hunter Ice Festival as we have had all previous years because of COVID restrictions.

This weekend (Friday 1/15, Saturday 1/16) the team will put out 28 large sculptures, strategically placed throughout town, visible for drive bys and apart enough for social distancing if folks want to walk and see them.

The weather forecast looks like it might be cold enough that they might stick around a couple of weeks
