THE HISTORY OF CLEAR MEMORIES
In 1988, David Peterson and Jeffrey Foley (Co-founders of Clear Memories Innovations In Ice) graduated from a small high school in the state of Maine. David and Jeff soon became food and beverage purchasing agents, with Dave living in Portland, ME, and Jeffrey living in NH. Independently picking up the art of ice sculpting with chain saws, they began learning and gravitating toward this unique profession under the watchful eyes of chefs Greg Picard and Mark Beaupre. Dave took to sculpting quite naturally, taking first place in his premiere competition, “The 1990 Annual Harasekett Inn Ice Carving Competition” in Freeport, Maine. They began realizing their destiny as their first joint adventure as sculptors surfaced. The project was to design, sculpt, and deliver a 15-foot, 15,000-pound globe and logo for a corporate event in Portland, Maine.
