<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 11, 2013) This weekend marked the close of Saranac Lake&apos;s 116th Winter Carnival.   One of the big draws every year is the home-made parade.Dozens of floats and marchers make their way through the heart of the village, in an event that&apos;s one part New Orleans Mardi Gras and one part backyard theater.The trick each year is to match the theme of the Winter Carnival as cleverly as possible, using materials that range from cardboard to old garbage can lids to yarn.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 10, 2011) For more than a century, a palace built of ice has been the central focus of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival.  Local volunteers design and build the structure out of ice blocks based on the Winter Carnival theme.  This year, it&apos;s &quot;Medieval Times&quot;, and photographer Mark Kurtz used his camera to profile the team of sculptors who filled the castle with frozen furnishings.
