On February 6th, 2016, the Ithaca Children's Garden invited the town to their Fire & Ice Festival- an annual celebration of winter outdoor play with ice sculptures, snow forts, fire dancers and bonfires.  When asked, Art Club enthusiastically handed over our 9'x 9' sheet from the Life-size Shadow Puppet Theater project.  We were headed outside to play!
