Exterior - 2012-13 MOA - Phyllis KedlLet’s start this week off right with an awesome giveaway from one of the coolest places in Vermont. How does a 4 pack of tickets to the Ice Castles in Stratton sound? A trip south would make a great day-cation or perhaps these tickets will be the perfect excuse to plan a mid winter getaway. Either way, we hope a visit to the Ice Castles will brighten up your winter.

Here’s how to enter the Stratton Ice Castle giveaway:

Leave us a comment below, on facebook, or via email telling us who would love the castles most in your family and you’ll be entered to win.

We will pick a winner on Sunday, January 25, 2015.

Eliza, MiniBury Founder

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.

    My 6 year old son would love to go see the Ice Castle in Stratton and that’s saying a lot since he doesn’t like long car rides! Thanks for the opportunity to win a fun family outing!

    My 6-year-old “Frozen”-obsessed daughter would love this the most although our whole family would appreciate it!

    I am not sure who would love it more – me or my daughters! I love ice sculptures and they love Elsa and Ice Castles! One of the girls will probably be the most impressed, but we will all enjoy it!

    Definitely me… the mama! I’ve never seen anything like it, and how wonderful to have it right here in vermont! I am so excited to see such magical, awe-inspiring winter beauty and best of all will be to see the girls (4 & 5) reactions and excitement!! And, no doubt, this will leave quite an impression on them for the rest of their lives!!!

    My four year old daughter thinks she IS Queen Elsa…..and my two year old son thinks it is hilarous when he falls down on the ice. Seeing something ilke this would be the most awesome thing ever, not to mention the pictures to be had and memories made!

    My 3 year old daughter and 8 year old niece would love this. Thanks for the opportunity.

    My 4 year old daughter would love to visit the ice castle she walks around saying she is a princess all the time.

    May I be honest and a little selfish here? I want to go! Us parents have to struggle through kid events like, terrible cartoon movies, jumpy house places, etc….things that sure, are fun for the kids (it’s all about them right?) but maybe not so much for M&D. This looks pretty magical and fun for all (and maybe a little less about the kids – shhh…don’t tell!)

    My four year old nephew would love this! He loves playing on ice and I know this would be a fun extension of that idea! I would also love the experience and am already dreaming about all the photo opportunities there are while visiting the ice castles! Thanks for the opportunity! 🙂

    Between my two-year-old and my forty-five-year-old, it sometimes feels like I have two toddlers.

    At the Ice Castles, I think this might be okay.
