    • A massive 5-foot-high and 50-foot-by-50-foot *ice labyrinth for guests to walk through to discover an intricately carved ice structure. The maze will be constructed with approx. 270 blocks of ice weighing 300lbs each.

    o    ***This is the visual!!  I could help coordinate to get a photog get footage and/or pics of the structures going up, if you wanted, just let me know!

    • Recorded music will be playing throughout the day

     

    *Ice labyrinth will be designed in tandem by Ice Effects (Rockland, MA) and The Lawn on D’s creative producer, Christopher Wangro.

    ***FUN FACT: Ice Effects is the same company that pioneered the David Blaine ice stunt, they created the ice box David laid in!)
