Ice carving event benefits High Fives Foundation

Truckee River Winery is having an ice carving contest March 6 from noon-7pm.

This is a fund-raising event with High Fives Foundation. Ice carvers will be given four hours to sculpt their blocks of ice. All carvers will be judged on artistry, creativity, level of difficulty and relevance. Carvers are encouraged to choose a design that emulates all three of these skills. Only two people per team are allowed.

The cost is $100 for the ice block. The winner of the competition will have his or her fee waived.

Here is the application.
