MEDICINE HAT, AB – Another year of Midnight Madness has begun in the downtown core.

The unofficial start to the holiday season has businesses keeping their doors open late, Santa sing-a-longs at the public library, carriage rides and the lighting of the Christmas tree in BATUS Park. Other family-friendly activities are planned including a live ice sculpting display on the front lawn of the Esplanade.

CHAT NEWS spoke with local artist Marina Cole, aka Chainsaw Spirit earlier today to get a preview of tonight’s events. Cole will be teaming with with Calgary-based ice sculptor Andrew Zoller for a “cool” collaboration.
