The Eclipse Lagoon at Nicholas Conservatory and Gardens in Rockford is now open for outdoor ice skating, and they're offering something brand new this year.
One of Rockford's greatest winter events is the Snow Sculpting Competition. Personally, I struggle to get a snow man to stand up in my yard, can you relate? Snow sculpting is truly an art and it's so impressive when the pieces are complete...
