Itinerary:

I am posting this event at relatively short notice to see if there is any interest. If there are at least 4 sign-ups by 1:00pm on Sunday, then the event will go ahead.

Also, please keep an eye on the weather forecast and your emails - although currently the forecast for Sunday is not too cold! :-)

Deep Freeze: A Byzantine Winter Festival ushers in the Olde New Year in style on Alberta Ave. Celebrate winter at one of Edmonton's coolest festivals. Ice and snow carving, skating, curling, cultural foods, dance, music, art gallery, art markets, street hockey, and deep freezer races.

We can decide as a group what we want to do and the coordinator is partial to the following:
- walk through a couple of the art galleries (there are four to choose from)
- visit the artisan village and market
- visit Tommy's Ice Saloon for a hot beverage (or a shot of Bailey's in an ice glass)
- take a horse and wagon ride
- check out the ice carvings and sculptures
- FIREWORKS at 6 PM
