According to Food Network, the series will air in early March. The carousel, as well as many other sculptures, will be on display throughout the Hunter Ice Festival.

Other events today include “Ice Fights” — timed contests among ice sculptors — at 7 p.m.; an “ice bar” at the Riverfront Cafe patio; a snowman contest; bean bag toss; and sledding hill. Sunday’s schedule includes the bean bag toss and sledding hill. An ice skating rink is also located at Riverfront Park.
