For all my fellow Texans, this is what a frozen sandy beach and Lake Ontario looks like in the winter. Ice galore! And this – snow sculpture contest, horse-drawn sleigh rides by the frozen beach, Siberian Husky dogsled pup cuddling, chili tasting cook off, Finger Lakes wine tasting, ice chunking, ice “skating” across frozen lake, and a Polar Plunge for all the yahoos out there who choose to submerge themselves in frigid water when it’s 4 degrees out – is what a Winter Festival looks like in Rochester, NY. Who says the beach is only for the summer?
