Start to Melt
It's not too late to check out the 2009 Snow Days competition in Grant Park. Participants from all over the Midwest created the 15 ice sculptures on display in the Spirit of Music Garden this weekend and a winner (determined by viewer votes) was crowned on Friday. Now the large ice sculptures loom until they start to melt. With highs in the low-40s predicted for Tuesday, the city's special events website is listing the exhibit's closing date as Monday, Feb. 16.
Check out some photos from the exhibit on Uncommon Photographers here and here, or view the original sketches and proposals for the sculptures on the city's website.
