UPDATE: The Carmel Winter Games have been canceled due to warm weather.
It is time for friendly competition at the Carmel Winter Games on The Ice at Carter Green, brought to you by Allied Solutions. Whether you are signed up to compete or are a spectator, you won’t want to miss two days of non-skating competition Feb. 9 and 10.
What kind of competition? “Human curling” on inner tubes, an ice trike relay and “human hungry hippo” using laundry baskets to fetch hundreds of bouncing balls.
The annual event kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday with the Hometown Hero-Olympics featuring good-spirited competition among a number of city departments including Carmel Fire, Engineering, Parks & Recreation, Police, and Streets.
On Saturday, the competition on ice begins at noon as teams of friends and corporate co-workers vie for the No. 1 spot. The winning team will choose one of the not-for-profit organizations listed below to receive a cash prize donation.
