For example there are ice carvers who compete to decide who has created the masterpiece.
The firehouse holds a chili cook-off, where bystanders can taste all the chili that’s in the running.
There are decorated tractors that are paraded through town, people can marvel at the unique ways that people have chosen to decorate their tractor.
