When the big Minnesota Winter ice bar event happens in Downtown Rochester, it s snowy, icy, super cold.except for the times it s warm and meltly. And this is one of those times. Normally, it would start Wednesday the 3rd, but it s too warm, so the Pandemic Styled SocialICE, called Improv-ICE, announced some date improvising. This year the event will run February 6 - 14.
Monika Kopet, Rochester Downtown Alliance director of events was on KROC-AM 1340 and 96.9 FM s Rochester Today today to describe how the event will be different (no bars!), and said it was super likely there d be a delay in the ice sculpture presentation because of the sun.
Sadly we are going to be missing our typical SocialICE get-together this winter but it s been modified a bit and turned into Improv-ICE! There will still be some fun things to check out during Improv-ICE but one event also helps those in need in the area. It s called the Buy a Meal, Give a Meal campaign.
How does the Buy a Meal, Give a Meal campaign work? It s pretty simple. Starting February 4th through February 11th you purchase something from participating local businesses and for each transaction, a group of community supporters will donate a meal to Channel One Regional Food Bank. For EVERY transaction! We could feed a lot of people during this event.
