The ice and snow sculptures were awesome
Women sat around a fire in authentic costumes and did Viking handcrafts, including naal binding (knitting with a single needle)
Jane and Liz check out the handcrafting

There was also musical entertainment, stilt walkers, an artisan market, etc. We were lucky that it was a relatively mild day, only about -3 degrees, but the wind had a bit of an edge to it, so we warmed up with coffee at the Carrot Cafe. A fun afternoon and a chance to embrace our cold northern climate.
