HO...Ice houses, beards grow as Tech carnival nears<br /><br />HOUGHTON, Mich. - A couple-hundred inches of snow each winter aren't enough to keep Michigan Technological University students down.<br /><br />This year's Winter Carnival includes the All-Nighter on Wednesday to complete work on snow sculptures that have been under construction for a month at the school in Michigan's far northern Upper Peninsula.<br /><br />This year's theme is "Games We Know in a World of Snow." Events include a human sled dog race, snow volleyball and ice bowling, in which a team tosses a saucer with one person aboard toward the pins.<br /><br />There's also a race in which participants have a ski on one foot and a snowshoe on the other.<br /><br />The Winter Carnival Queen contest is Saturday and the beard-growing competition judging is Thursday.<br /><br />http://j.mp/bffEg0<br /><br />http://www.mtu.edu/carnival/videosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
