The Geneva Family YMCA has scheduled its second annual Finger Lakes Frost Fest for Feb. 20. Come show your support and enjoy good food and drinks!!!! “We just got a tremendous buzz from our sponsors and from the people that attended last year,” YMCA Executive Director Charlie Evangelista said. “It really went well last year. Our goal was to create a great signature event the first time, with the idea that we were going to do it in subsequent years.” Like last year, the celebration of winter in the Finger Lakes will be held at the Geneva Lakefront Ramada Hotel and feature outdoor ice sculptures and ice bars with specialty martinis poured through an ice luge. Music will be provided by Finger Lakes DJ, with indoor food tastings from popular area restaurants. It also will include tastings from local wineries and shuttle service between downtown parking areas and the Ramada. There will again be a fireworks display from the city pier. Mary Bakogiannis, the YMCA’s program director, said last year’s Frost Fest sold out a week before the event and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. About 650 people attended last February’s event, which was staged on one of last winter’s many frigid days. “It’s important to emphasize that the event is both outside and inside the Ramada,” she said. “Last year we had polar vortex weather and we were refusing people at the door of the Ramada. The ice sculptures were so well done and interactive. Many braved the wind and cold outside; we had plenty of food and wine tastings inside. Frost Fest 2016 is going to be even better.”
