2012 Bethel WinterFest News
Bethel WinterFest 2012 Theme announced
January 19, 2012 - Bethel Citizen
Inspired by the volcanic splendors of Iceland, this year’s snow feature for the Bethel WinterFest will be a giant snow volcano. And this volcano will spew real fire and ashes, not snowflakes. Read the story by clicking this link: www.bethelcitizen.com
Volcano/sliding hill core rises
January 26, 2012 - Bethel Citizen
The centerpiece of the snow volcano/sliding hill under construction at “Festival Plaza,” near the Casablanca, was placed last week. The bundle of logs was raised by a Bancroft Contracting Corp. crane. When the weather is cold enough, Sunday River snow guns will make snow around the logs, creating the sliding hill. Then, in an event scheduled as part of this year’s Bethel WinterFest (Feb. 24 & 25), the logs will be lit on fire, creating a bonfire and a volcano effect.
