It will combine with Lake George Winter Carnival and Lake George Winterfest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Local officials hope the new event has a major impact on extending the tourism season into the winter, helping local businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At a virtual meeting following the news conference, streamed on YouTube, Warren County Tourism Director Joanne Conley said Ice Castles \u201chopefully will entice people to keep their business open in the winter. This could be a game changer this year. We would like you to understand that and consider keeping your business open this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jared Henningsen, vice president for events for Ice Castles, said the company\u2019s experience is that it is a huge draw for restaurants and hotels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe anticipate a huge influx of requests for accommodations at the local hotels,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ice Castles is expected to draw up to 90,000 people from around the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states for its ice-borne attractions. Construction of the elaborate ice structures will start in the fall, and run into December, according to the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are thrilled to have Ice Castles choose the Lake George area to grow their event brand. This event will complement the current activities offered around the region while enhancing the winter experience for which visitors come to the region,\u201d said Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce &amp; CVB Executive Director Gina Mintzer. \u201cLake George is a perfect fit for an event like this that incorporates our natural winter beauty while also being family friendly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Depending on the weather, most locations open in early January and remain open until early March. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each castle is built by hand and takes thousands of man hours to create. The immersive structures are made entirely from ice. Each castle is approximately 1 acre in size and consists of more than 25 million pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Officials said the daily process consists of growing 5,000-12,000 icicles that are harvested by hand and individually sculpted into existing ice formations. The blend of icicle placement, temperatures, water volume, and wind result in an ever changing variety of ice formations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The company said all Ice Castles sites are located next to a natural water source so the water returns to the environment each spring to be used again by wildlife, people, and plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe can hardly contain our enthusiasm over welcoming Ice Castles to Lake George,\u201d said Conley. \u201cVisitors know us as an iconic summer destination, and now we invite them to experience all we have to offer in the winter months. Complementing our popular Winter Carnival, Ice Bars, and incredible winter recreation, we expect this magnificent attraction\u2019s frozen spires of light and color over the south shore of our beautiful lake, against the dramatic backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains, to dazzle spectators\u2019 senses. It certainly will be a sight to see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Said Rachel Seeber, Chairwoman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors welcomed Ice Castles to Lake George \u201cfor an event like no other that promises to \u2018wow\u2019 residents and visitors this winter in Warren County. This commitment is yet another step by our community toward building our year-round tourism, 365 days a year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ticket prices will range from $16 for children on weekdays to $28 adult weekend admission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">For more information, visit icecastles.com.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lake George Chamber of Commerce says the winter of 2021-22 promises to be unlike no other in the area as a new venture\u2014Ice Castles\u2014brings its display of sculptures, caverns, ice slides, lighting and more to Charles Wood Park\u2019s Festival Space.
