The ice carnival used to be held on the ice, I remember my father taking me and my siblings there

when we were just little. They used to have a ferris wheel, tilt a whirl and other rides and activities.

What I remember most is getting very very cold! There was even a "jail", that was for the

people who did not buy a badge! The badges were sold on a per day or per weekend price. One year, the

elementary school kids had a badge drawing contest with the winning drawing on the badge!

 

                        There are events held at the ice carnival grounds throughout the year!

                                                                 COME VISIT!

                          STAY A WHILE                                                   ENJOY YOURSELF

Hi Kathy, thanks for the comment, it was fun! Back then it was more like a carnival, these days its not really like that any more. It's still a fun family event, but more of a spectator sport if you're not a participant!
