Fire and Ice attracted a large crowd to view the ice sculptures and fire shows in downtown Frederick.
Attendees could view ice sculptures of various animals, pose with them, one of them even dispensed iced tea, and student could pose with a frozen version of the Hood sign. The event was sponsored by many businesses throughout Frederick. There were 77 ice sculptures in total.
Along Carroll Creek an ice sculpture was being carved, then later that night also a fire performance. Free hot chocolate and s’mores as well as a trolley that went to seven different stops were offered throughout the even last Saturday.
Many businesses offered free samples for the event, stayed open later, had sales or different products to encourage business.
Hood student, Suvana Batajoo, said, “It was nice to know that a lot of the ice sculptures reflected parts of Frederick in one way or the other. It was just overwhelming with too many people. However, I enjoyed it overall.”
This event is typically the most attended First Saturday event of the year according to locals, which was clear from the packed streets and restaurants.
