Downtown Chambersburg was a cool place to be the last weekend of January as visitors attended IceFest 2023. Wilson College had an impressive presence in the Courthouse Plaza with a giant, life-size ice sculpture.

Onlookers gathered to watch the Wilson College ice sculpture take shape.

It took several hours to complete.

The letters spelling out W _ LSON was missing the "I". Festival attendees were encouraged to stand in the place of the I, take photos, and post them to social media tagged with #WilsonBold and #IceFestPa. President Wes Fugate was the first to try it out.

Blaze was spotted at IceFest too.

Students, staff, faculty, alums, and community members were all spotted posing with the Wilson ice sculpture.

Blaze makes friends with everyone.

The Wilson College field hockey team volunteered to work at the ice slide.

Can't resist a friendly race with the president!

It was a great event and we are already planning for next year!
