Greetings on this very icy morning!
Wow! welcome to Winter! I am just back from visiting family in the Caribbean and asking myself why did I come back to Colorado at this time of year??? Oh well! The Ice Park will open on time or earlier this year! and that is a good thing!
The chill of this morning is a definite reminder! Ice Festival!! is 4 weeks from TODAY!
I know most of you are counting the days until Christmas! but I wanted to connect with you before that chaos sets in to wish you a happy holiday! and find out what your availability is for the Festival. I did receive some responses from Mel's earlier email but it would help me out greatly for those of you who did not respond yet to just shoot me an email letting me know if you are available, what you have done in the past and what you are interested in doing this year.
I would encourage you to check out the 2010 festival schedule listed on the ourayicefestival.com It looks like a great line up of events and exciting things to attend as well as work at! We will do our best to make it a great time for all of you as well. As we know and appreciate that we could not do it without you!
In advance.. thank you for all you will do to make this years event the best ever!
Keep warm!
