According to mlive.com:

The family-friendly festival is set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, in downtown Dexter’s Monument Park. Activities are planned for throughout the day, as well as treats like hot chocolate and s’mores.

I really enjoy looking at ice sculptures because I am truly amazed by the people who carve them out to become something spectacular.

Ice sculptures are generally used in entertaining, both as decorative statues and as functional display pieces.

Mlive.com also adds:

The event will feature ice sculptures sponsored by local businesses, like a doughnut, unicorn, horse and a snowmobile that people can sit on and take pictures with. There will also be famous characters making an appearance like the Grinch and Snoopy.

This might even be a new hobby for me to pursue in 2023. Can you picture me working with all kinds of ice tools and creating the perfect ice sculpture?  We all need new hobbies in 2023.

I think my best bet is to make the trip to Dexter's Ice Fest at Monument Park and talk to some of the people who actually make these magnificent ice sculptures. I'm willing to watch, listen, learn, and carve
