Winter fun at Zwilling Memorial Extravaganza I.C.E. Fest
A multitude of people made their way out to the Green Prairie Fish Lake in Little Falls to attend the annual Sunny Zwilling Memorial Extravaganza I.C.E. Fest. Adults and children of all ages had fun participating in different activities, such as going on Santa rides, curling, igloo building, kite flying, human bowling and human foosball. The I.C.E.

The Zwillings also reclaimed the world record for largest ice carousel, which weighed 80,000 tons, was spread out over 31.65 acres and measured 1,325 feet across and .8 miles around. The ice was 23 inches thick. Powered with an 11 hp and 13 hp motor with a 9-pitch propeller and 7 1/2-inch propellers, the ice carousel was spinning for more than 20 hours and made six full rotations.
