(photo/submitted) Iceculture creates cool new car Panther Profile TORONTO — Hensall's Iceculture has a cool new creation — a Camaro concept car made out of ice. Visitors to the recent Canada International Auto Show at the Metro Convention Centre in Toronto saw the Camaro concept car, the new, prototype Chevy performance vehicle from General Motors. Outside the Convention Centre at the Steamwhistle Brewery in Roundhouse Park was a three-quarter size ver- sion of the Camaro built in ice surrounded by a series of ice sculptures highlighting different Olympic sports. The ice version of the car was created in the Iceculture freezer studio in Hensall. It was then taken apart and re -assembled at the Steamwhistle Brewery at the base of the CN Tower. The complete ice display involved more than 100 blocks of ice.

So, you know, I'll probably spend my days indoors watching movies. Fun Night is coming up March 23. It will be fun, and it will be at night. This is also the night of the Time & Talent Auction. Lots of excellent items will be auc- tioned off, so bring your wal- let/purse/pocket. Donation forms can still be found in the high school's office. Good vibes accom- pany every donation. Speaking of good vibes, the 30 Hour Famine is coming up on April 7-8. If you're into intensely awesome sleepovers at the high school, or if you just don't feel like eating for a little while, the 30 IIour Famine is where it's at.
