Fire & Ice Festival | Lititz, PA
The Lititz Fire & Ice Festival originated over 10 years ago to help shake the mid-winter blues & support Lititz’s downtown retailers. A group of women called the Lititz Women in Business, spearheaded Dawn Rissmiller & Tammy Boltz, developed & launched the festival. A few years later, the Lititz LEO Club took ownership of the festival and has grown & developed it each year since. Tammy left the event as a LEO Club leader in 2012, and under the leadership of Lititz LEO Club Advisor Dawn, a powerhouse committee including LEOs, Lions & community volunteers have come together to plan & implement the festival.
The festival runs from February 14th- February 17th, 2014. There is live ice sculpting Friday night from 5pm- 9pm from the DiMartino Ice Company out of Jeannette, PA; they will be presenting up to 50 ice sculptures that everyone attending will get to see live !
This event is an opportunity to try 25 different chili recipes & support each chef’s designated charity. Chili chefs will compete for various awards, including the ultimate “People’s Choice” grand trophy. Charities that benefited in 2013 include: March of Dimes; Landis Homes Caring Fund; Alzheimer’s Association; Breast Cancer; Lititz REC Center; Appalachian Trail Mission Project; Grace Church; Lititz Fire Company; Lititz Library; KPETS; Lititz Christian School; Cast Away Critters; EARS (Ephrata Area Rehabilitation Services); Hospice of Lancaster; and Woodridge Pool.
