JACKSON — Top carvers from around New England will return for the 24th annual Great Ice Carvers of New England Invitational Ice Carving Competition at The Wentworth Inn on Monday, Jan. 7, at 10 a.m.

This event allows competitors three hours to transform a 300-pound block of ice into a work of art. Each participant may have his or her tools of preference, but expect to see chain saws, chisels, picks and blow torches as the birds, animals, buildings and other creations come to life on the front porch of this elegant turn-of-the century New England inn.
