Last weekend’s Festival of Ice drew crowds to the Carmel Arts & Design District and Carter Green as skilled ice carvers showcased their talents. If you happened to be at the event on Sunday, you may have gotten to sample some savory chili from the Carmel Fire Department (above). Congratulations to this year’s festival winners.
