Sunny skies and tons of ice drew a huge crowd to the Saturday, Feb. 11, finale of the Butler AM Rotary’s seventh annual Carved in Ice festival in Diamond Park in Butler.

The two-day festival began Friday with many events including ice carving demonstrations, a sliding board made of ice for children, a chili cook off, a hot dog eating contest, tractor-pulled wagon rides, food trucks, music, a basket auction and a 50/50 drawing.

Misty Malone, of Butler, brought her daughter, Evelyn, and niece, Azelia Jones, to check out the ice sculptures.

“We like to look at all the cool carvings. I think the girls like the music,” Malone said.
