Snowflakes fly and bitter temperatures blanket Wyoming, but in the midst of it all, pristine
sculpted ice creates a dream like atmosphere in the City of Green River. Join us for a weekend of winter fun at the 2013 Crystal Classic Winter Festival. Green River Expedition Island will be alive with lights, music, decorations, food, professional ice sculpting, and fun competitions for all ages to enjoy on Friday, February 15 and Saturday, February 16. Things kick off Friday evening at 4:30 PM with an Individual NICA and People’s Choice Professional Ice Carving Event, followed by a Soup Cook Off Competition, Live Band, Ice Bar, and S’mores Stations. The fun continues with a jam packed Saturday, beginning with the Pancake Breakfast in the Pavilion from 8:30 AM-10:30 AM. The rest of the day includes the 5 K Frostbite/Crystal Classic Walk/Run, NICA Team Ice Sculpting Event, Snowshoe Softball Tournament, Kids Games, Human Dog Sled Race, Ice Cube Hunt for ages 3-12 and the Crystal Classic Awards Banquet on Saturday evening. Food vendors will be present and the Pavilion will be open the entire event, for a place to eat and warm up while all the festivities are taking place.
