STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — There are some ice sculptures, but this time, with an animal theme. Stroudsburg held their "Zoo on Ice" themed Winterfest in their Courthouse Square. The event had activities for all, featuring a scavenger hunt with prizes from Shawnee Mountain Ski Area and the potting shed, local vendors, and special promotions from some local businesses. Jim Thorpe’s Winterfest kicks off in Carbon County "I think it's great, especially for those of us that may not enjoy skiing and kind of winter sports, it's a great way for us to kind of connect with the community. And not just kind of be isolated at home," said Stroudsburg resident and festival-goer Tiffany Torres. The animal ice sculptures will continue to be out in Stroudsburg even if you missed the festivities.
