A group of local contractors pooled their building and design skills on Tuesday, February 12 to construct the ice castle for this weekend’s Old Forge Winter Carnival at McCauley Mountain.

IMG_3449Mark Hannah, Dale Heroux, Jim Williams, Jeff Mahoney, Bruce Hodge, Brian Bamberger and Steve Uzdavinis wielded chain saws, hand saws and shovels to carve this year’s castle.

The castle is traditionally created by a work crew in one day, then later decorated by another group of volunteers.

The theme for this year’s Winter Carnival is “Celebrating Valentine’s Weekend.”
