Sponsors are still being sought for the February First Friday event that is themed the Fire & Ice Festival.

Michiana Ice Carvers will be working on carving ice sculptures from 300-pound and 600-pound blocks of ice for the festival, beginning early in the morning on Friday, Feb. 7.

Last year, 46 ice sculptures were sponsored by downtown businesses, which then had the either 300-pound or 600-pound block of ice placed outside the establishment and specially carved to compliment the sponsor. Sponsor amounts are $195 for a 300-pound block and $295 for a 600-pound block.

Again this year, each completed sculpture will be fitted with colored pod lights to set them off.

The Fire & Ice festival will officially begin at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, and conclude at 9 p.m.

To sponsor a carving, click and print the Sponsor Form and submit it to the Warsaw Community Development Corporation by Jan. 21.
