Nelsonville will host the “Fire and Ice” for Final Friday on the Square, January 25, 2013 from 5 – 9 p.m.  On the final Friday of every month, the Nelsonville Historic Square galleries and retail shops stay open late to feature local art events.

For the first Final Friday of 2013, the Hocking College Culinary Arts program will present Master Ice Carver Paul Ahrens, from Precise Ice Creations. Ahrens and the Culinary Arts students will carve blocks of ice located throughout the square weighing a total of 6,000 pounds or three tons of ice.  

Other “Fire and Ice” themed activities, such as flambéed desserts, fire barrels and fire performers will be located throughout the square.  The Hocking College Epicurean Club will also serve warm cider, hot cocoa, coffee and cookies and flambéed desserts.

Rhapsody, the Hocking College student-run fine dining restaurant located at 18 Public Square, is also taking reservations for the evening. The special “Fire and Ice” menu includes an appetizer of king crab legs and main entrée specials of ice fish from the Great Lakes or Alaskan halibut. A flambéed dessert will also be available.   Contact Rhapsody at 740.753.5741 for reservations.
