ROCHESTER, N.Y. \u2014 This weekend\u2019s Lakeside Winter Celebration at Ontario Beach Park is set to showcase a snow sculpture themed after the Winter Olympics. The celebration will take place on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
Sculptor Eric Jones, working on the sculpture Thursday, said he thrives in snowy conditions. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s kinda like Christmas time, you like to see a little bit of snow falling and when I\u2019m sculpting all winter long, the more it snows the better it is for me, so I love seeing it,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n
Jones shared that Ontario Beach Park provided heavy equipment to assist with lifting snow. \u201cIt worked out great lifting snow for me. The sculpture itself will probably take about six hours,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n
In addition to the snow sculpture, the celebration will feature a Polar Plunge on Sunday at 1 p.m. to benefit Special Olympics New York. Admission to the event is free.<\/p>\n
