66 sculptures line the streets of downtown Downers Grove for their annual Ice Festival.

"People enjoy 60 in February but it's not great for ice sculptures," said Erin Venezia, executive director of Downers Grove Downtown Management Corporation. "It's a good reason in the winter to get people out of the house and wander around the downtown -- check out stores, restaurants -- everyone is looking for something to do in the winter."
