Father and son riding down the icy luge.

Luge ride at the Temple Fair

This was the only ride I saw at the fair. The ice slide is very slick and they give you a small pad to sit on. The entire slide is covered with shade netting to prevent melting in the sun.

The ice sculpture combines the symbols for the year of the rat and for the Olympics which were held in Beijing later in the year.
