Fire and Ice 2025 came to a close on Sunday, and what an epic and awesome weekend it was! Our community-wide, three-day winter festival is no easy event to put on. It requires so much coordination and there's no way any one of us could do it alone.Thank you to Ken Rash at Steptoe Valley Sound, Jon Charchalis and his amazing lighting, and any technical volunteers like Chuck Sindelair who made sure our kick-off Blü Egyptian Band concert last Friday rocked. And, of course, thank you Blu Egyptian for coming out and jamming all night!Thank you to everyone and every group that made sure Saturday never had a dull moment! Ely Outdoor Enthusiasts' for hosting their Birkebeiner early in the morning, Shooters Bar & Grill for their pool tournament, Sunset Lanes Bowling Center hosting their tournament, VFW James Jewell Post #3547 making sure that darts flew, and all the pool/karaoke that took place at the THE OUTPOST BAR. And, not just on Saturday but during the weekend as a whole, thank you to Desert Rose Ceramics & Crafts for hosting your ceramics once again this year!The end of the day fireworks show on Saturday is always a massive endeavor. Regarding the show and the sculpture bonfire, thank you to the Nevada Northern Railway. Not only for being both events' venue and providing a great setting for each, but also for being a great partner year after year. Happy Birthday Locomotive 93!Thank you to the Ely Lions Club for once again building the structure for our sculpture bonfire. The Viking ship was amazing. It burned hot and it burned fast. Can't wait to see what you guys do in the future. See you in October for the Ely Renaissance Faire & Pumpkin Festival!Massive thank you to Great Basin Pyrotechnics, our local and professional memory-makers! GBP provides much of the boom and burning of the bonfire. They are also who we have to thank for two amazing fireworks displays in one weekend! The three days wouldn't be the same without you. Let's continue to blow stuff up!Yes, the event is called Fire & Ice and we certainly make sure that we have no shortage of fire. But there's only one way we're able to make that happen, and that is with the outstanding support and work done by the Ely Volunteer Fire Department. The true heroes of the weekend year after year. "Thank you" simply doesn't cover how grateful we are for what you do. We can only continue to push and add to this event because of the Ely VFD's endless commitment to keeping our community safe.This all brings us to Sunday at Broadbent Park. Thank you to the City of Ely and all the workers who make Broadbent Park the perfect venue in lieu of a not-so-full Cave Lake. Thanks to Wayne Cameron and his hosting of the Ice Horseshoe Tournament, plus the Caylors and other volunteers who help him every year. Thank you to the teams that participated in this year's art contest (announcements and photos coming soon)! Working on art in one day, in freezing temps, and doing it on the fly without snow will always amaze us!Thank you to Beautiful Losers for being the official end of Fire & Ice! The weekend began with a live music, and fittingly ended with live music thanks to you.Lastly, but no means least, thank you to each and every person who came out and enjoyed Fire & Ice! Truly, no event is worth celebrating if not for the people who celebrate it with you.Fire & Ice 2026 is already in the works! We can't wait to see everyone again next year, with the high chance that we'll finally return to the ice! 🔥❄️-White Pine County Tourism & Recreation ... See MoreSee Less
