MTU Winter Carnival

It's here. The all nighter at MTU, where the students put their finishing touches on the giant snow statues that will be judged Thursday morning. You can find out more about the MTU Winter Carnival events HERE.

If you've never been to winter carnival, you should take a trip to Houghton and check it out. The things these guys do with snow and ice is absolutely amazing. The statues can be stories high. The detail is sometimes incredible. I particularly like how they make chains out of ice, that particular object amazes me.

the Grinch statue from 2006, my fav that year. This and a couple others are the only pics that survived an external drive crash in which I lost a year's worth of work. That'll teach ya to back up, eh?

During winter carnival, broomball is taken very "seriously". It's really fun to watch and there's games going on all the time.
Broomball "save"!
