1980s Saint Paul Minnesota Winter Carnival Ice Palace. Photograph. American. I wish I could find more about it. I found this image on Old USA on Facebook but I found it over on Threads in the account of Clare.rolfzen who states that: Saint Paul, Minnesota holds a Winter Carnival every winter. This is a photo of one of the ice Castles for the carnival. They are not constructed every year and they aren’t all lighted. This is a favorite of mine! From Life in Minnesota.
