You won’t want to miss the Ice Carving Competition on Saturday, Dec. 9 from 12 to 4:00 p.m. Six ice carvers will each make a “spectacular” sculpture in only four hours out of 900 pounds of ice, according to The Shops at Yale website. Live music from groups like the famed Whiffenpoofs can be heard at the ice carving competition. Read more about this specific event here.
