The skilled ice carvers, from Ice Matters in Cheshire, CT, will begin with a 300lb solid block of clear ice, measuring 40″ tall x 20″ wide and transform it into a Holiday Bear on Black Friday, the Elm City Elf on Small Business Saturday, Handsome Dan (12/2), a snowman (12/9), Santa (12/16) and a Nutcracker (12/23).
