This past weekend, the town of Carlisle had 74 ice sculptures placed throughout the town. It was great to see them with all of the people walking, shopping and enjoying the day. They were created by a company in Hatboro, PA. Here are a few of the many.

Carlisle’s Finest Brewery, Molly Pitcher Brewing Co. (for non-historians, Molly “Pitcher” was a water bearer in the battle of Mammoth, NJ during the Revolutionary War. When her husband was injured, Molly took up his position and acted as the ramrod for the his canon. After the war, she moved to Carlisle and in 1791 while then President Washington visited Carlisle, he honored her. The Brewery’s IPAs are great! (That’s coming from Joe as I am not a beer drinker.)
Great sculpture outside a local gallery,
Dia del Muertas “Day of the Dead” sculpture outside the Mexican Restaurant.
The Bosler library had it’s own ice-cold book.

BOOK REVIEW
Ron Rash is a new author to me. The book was recommended by an online reading group. The story follows two brothers, Bill and Eugene, from their teen years in 1969. Their lives were forever changed by some events during that summer. Ligeia comes to their small town in North Carolina. She’s from Daytona, Florida. She’s a free spirit. She’s been banished to this little town to live with her relatives because her parents were having a hard time controlling her. After the events of this summer, each brother took very different paths. Very good read.
Until next week………..
