Ice sculptures are an annual attraction at HarborFrost.

Watch out for the ice sculptures! HarborFrost comes to a cold village this weekend. The temperatures should finally dip below freezing for this celebration of winter, with ice sculptures along Main Street, a fire juggler, and indoor children's activities on Saturday, including a Valentine's Day card-making craft at the Wharf Shop starting at noon and "face bling" sessions at Stella and Ruby from 2 to 4 p.m.  

Musicians will put in appearances along the main drag, too, with performances by Daniel Lerner, indie rock and pop, at Dragon Hemp Apothecary at 3 p.m., and Telly Karoussos, a singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist, at the Sag Harbor Cinema's Green Room bar at 4:30.

The cold got you hungry? The Kidd Squid Brewing Company on Spring Street will have a tasting of a melted cheese dish from Hamptons Raclette and bourbon from the Sagaponack Distillery from 3 to 6 p.m. Over at the Old Whalers Church, hot soup will be dished out to the background sounds of more live music from 5:30 to 7:30. Ten dollars will get you a container plus bread, beverage, and dessert. 

It all ends with a Grucci fireworks display off the end of Long Wharf at 5:45 Saturday evening. The full lineup of events and other details are online at sagharborchamber.com.

Tickets for the Friday night kickoff party at the Sag Harbor Cinema were sold out as of Friday morning.

The Swan Lady’s Spirit Endures

From the late 1980s until the early 2000s, it would not have been unusual to see Sigrid Owen near Fort Pond or Hook Pond — large net or perhaps a bag of cracked corn in hand — on a mission. Ms. Owen, who would have been 98 on Feb. 7, died on May 23 of last year.

Hands-Only CPR Lesson on Wear Red Day

Most women don’t realize cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. That’s why the American Heart Association named the first Friday of February National Wear Red Day, and offered lessons on hands-only CPR at places like Scoville Hall in Amagansett last week.

Time for the Great Backyard Bird Count!

The ground will be covered in white for this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count, which starts Friday and lasts through Sunday, and that means feeders could be especially active and potentially yield some surprises.
