Another great year for Fire and Ice

[dropcap]A[/dropcap]ll aboard!  At 4 p.m. on Saturday, the Ladybug Express made her inaugural run at Loving Mountain City’s Fire & Ice Festival, bringing a new dimension that literally expanded the event’s boundaries.   Tickets sales at the barrel train station all went to Sudden Unexpected Death of a Child Foundation. 

Ray and Janet Patterson created Ladybug Express in memory of their granddaughter, Brooklyn Rae Sowers.  Creative Janet painted the adorable barrels into ladybugs. Ray looked quite dapper in his conductor’s outfit.
