Ice Palace and Torch Light Parade

When I was a kid, Luck had a huge ice palace and skating rink as part of the Winter Carnival.  
In recent years, the ice palace has once again become a focal point of some of the carnival activities.  This year's palace is a real beauty.
When I got to Luck on Friday afternoon, the sun was shining on the palace lighting up the front door.

Saturday evening, after a day of alumni basketball, bingo at the DBS hall, sawdust pile for the kiddos, pancake breakfast, and medallion hunt, the town turned out for a torch light parade.
These pictures are not too good, I have a lot to learn about nighttime photography.
Andy & Alyxis and Breanna stayed in Luck for the evening and braved the cold of the parade.
Anders and Lora were at the parade too.  Anders seemed to enjoy his seat, all snuggled in.
It was a good turn out, and it was cold.
The parade was led by the Scouts carrying torches.  Gage is in there somewhere.
Most of the floats were lit.  Most of the girls were freezing.
The Luck float goes through the parade twice, once with the previous royalty.
Owen waved at every float, looks like he's ready for the parade route this summer.
Luck still has their Christmas decorations on mainstreet so it was a festive atmosphere.
Anders was a good sport for the whole parade.
Emily's first parade as part of the new Luck Winter Carnival royalty.
It doesn't take long for the girls to get their 'parade wave' down.
