Ice Carving Contest at the Seventh Annual Grays Harbor Expo in Ocean Shores

The Ice Carving Contest sponsored by local businesses debuted for the first time in last year’s show. “We learned a lot from last year’s event, including how much fun everyone had watching the event, so we are bringing it back,” says show promoter Dennis Irby, President of Puget Sound Trade Shows.

Turning 300-pound blocks of specially prepared ice into sculptures of eagles and flags in celebration of Memorial Day is the work of minutes instead of hours. The chainsaws buzz and ice chips fly as the carvers race to complete a worthy sculpture. Prize money is at stake.

Our local sponsors for the Ice Carving Contest so far include: Playtime Family Fun (PlayLive-Go-Carts-Bumper Cars-Ice Cream and more); Bank of the Pacific (Ocean Shores Branch); Emeritus at Harbour Pointe Shores (Senior Living, Assisted Living, Short Stay and On-Site Rehabilitation); First Cabin (Glass, Jewelry, Fine Art and Nautical Gifts) and more local sponsors to come.
