We may not have enhanced our previous world record but we still had a ton of successes at I.C.E. Fest 2021… even during a pandemic year and the coldest February weekend temps ever!
- - $18,000 donated to Flyer Pride Pack and Kare Kloset. That’s 10% more money donated than ever before.
- 45% more activities ( New this year were plane rides, log rolling, and 2 days of dog sledding, evolution of Ice Cutting, Education Tent)
- 10% more sponsors. THANK YOU!
- 40% more volunteers. THANK YOU!
- First 250 meter, 50 million pound, 12 acre disc of ice to spin 90 feet, altho NOT a full rotation for the record!
🤯 And check out these mind blowing numbers about this year’s disc/attempted Ice Carousel…
- - 65% more ice removed to make the canal (124,000 pounds -> 205,000 pounds)
- 58% faster cutting (9.2 second per foot -> 5.4 seconds per foot)
- 31% heavier (38 million pounds -> 50 million pounds)
- 20% more area (10 -> 12 acres)
- 10% further across (750’ -> 820’)
- 10% larger circumference (0.44 -> 0.49 miles)
- And of course, all of this while it was….100% colder!
We had a blast and can't wait for next year's event!
Donations and sponsorships have helped the family’s 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Pay It Forward Foundation, raise over $36,000 for local causes. This year, proceeds from the event will go to the Flyer Pride Pack weekend food program at Little Falls Community Schools and Kids in Need, both of which are organizations aimed at stomping out childhood hunger
