This year’s Shipshewana Ice Festival Pin Design winner was announced
on Monday, Nov. 5 at Westview Jr./Sr.
High School. Levi King made the announcement and revealed the winning
design to those in attendance. The designing of the Ice Festival Pin started
in 2008 when Mr. King designed it
himself. Beginning in 2009, it was
decided to let the students at Westview
High School submit entries for the pin.
This year there were at least 50 entries
for the committee to decide on.
The winner of the chosen artwork
receives free festival pins and is awarded a place of honor in the Shipshewana
Light Parade, held on Saturday, Nov.
10. This year, the 2nd runner up was
Yeon Woo Nam, a foreign exchange
Thank You
student from South Korea. 1st runner
up was Stephanie Hallgarth. The winner for the 2012 Ice Festival Pin was
Cheyenne Charters.
The light parade is the “kick-off”
event for the Shipshewana Holiday
Season. There will be a little something
for everyone. Activities include the
light parade, a free Live Nativity, an
Ice Festival Queen Pageant, the chili
cookoff, the competition ice carving,
and many other activities. This year’s
ice carving will feature 15 ice carvers. When this event started in 2008,
23,000 pounds of ice were brought in
for carvers to create their masterpieces. Each year they have increased the
number of pounds and last year they
had 30,000 pounds of ice.
