The roadway has been reopened to normal traffic. However, the Shipshewana Police Department would like to caution local drivers that there is still a considerable amount of equipment, materials and barricades located along the roadway construction area. Please be extra careful when traveling in the construction zone. Winter weather conditions often make safe travel challenging. Allowing extra time for travel, reducing your travel speed to an appropriate level for snow and ice conditions, and allowing adequate distances for stopping will help make your winter travels safe for all. Your cooperation in clearing your driveways of s now is always sincerely appreciated, also. Please do not push snow out into the street. It can be dangerous for cars and it makes it more difficult to plow the streets. I personally want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and prosperous year in 2011. I am looking forward to the future year and working together for the betterment of all of our citizens and guests.

The Michiana Ice Carvers Association carved sculptures throughout the town. Activities included competitive ice carving contests, snowmobile drag races, a chili cook-off and many exciting shopping opportunities. If the cold weather continues to cooperate, you should still be able to visit Shipshewana and enjoy the ice sculptures. While you are in town, please remember to buy the 2010 Ice Festival pin to receive a number of great discounts from local merchants throughout the month of January.
