Edward Kennedy’s attendance at the annual competition than any one of its actual happenings...
That's about to change. Word is getting out that there is something wild and delicious stirring in this frostbitten soil, waiting to be discovered.

...rolled out of bed at about 9:37 a.m., and, after grabbing a sweatshirt and trekking across the frostbitten Yard, I strolled into the Science Center about 12 minutes late.

Clues to the success of this frostbitten abode become evident as soon as you enter its lobby, where the elegant furniture never needs dusting because it's all made of ice, and the floors never need polishing since they're carpeted with snow. In the adjoining bar, the guests, all bundled up in their winter coats and hats, are quite happy to tell you that they have traveled from as far as Australia--for the adventure and to celebrate life and its major events, including weddings, reunions and birthdays. Whether they describe their adventure as soft or hard and consider...
