WONDER IF IT'LL BE AS LOUD AS

BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER,
CREWS ARE ABLE TO MAKE THE ICE

THE PROCESS WAS DESCRIBED TO
OUR ANGELA DAVIS.
Reporter: IT'S A COLD JOB.

THEY CREATED.
WHAT WE DO IS WE HARVEST
ICICLES THAT WE GROW OUTSIDE

ICICLES IN.
AND THAT'S BASICALLY THE BRICK
AND THE WATER IS THE MORTAR.
Reporter: IN ABOUT THREE
WEEKS, THIS IS WHAT THE ICE
CASTLE IN STILLWATER'S PARK

THAT'S THE WAY WE FREEZE OUR
ICICLES IN PLACE.
WE USE SLUSH.
Reporter: ASTHMA JESTIC AS
IT LOOKS DURING THE -- AS
MAJESTIC AS IT LOOKS DURING THE
DAY, IT'S EVEN MORE AT NIGHT.
THERE'S LIGHTS INSIDE THE
ICE!
THE WHOLE THING GLOWS.
IT CHANGES COLORS.
WE HAVE A LIGHT SHOW THAT'S
CUED UP WITH THE MUSIC.
IT'S A NEAT EXPERIENCE!
