If you can help volunteer please call 320-249-1504 or go to the website at mnicefest.org. and scroll down to the bottom of the page to sign up to help volunteer.

- Organizers of Ice Fest this weekend wanted to thank the number of volunteers who showed up yesterday to begin setting up the event Saturday and Sunday on Green Prairie Fish Lake. They are hoping the same number will show up today and Friday, Chuck Zwilling said also they will use volunteers if you can help Sunday after 4pm and next Monday for the tear down. Also Chuck wanted to address he has gotten calls on ice safety with warmer temps in the past 2 weeks, Chuck said they measured the ice yesterday at 24 inches and said the snow has melted in some areas around the ice but ice thickness was not effected by the warm temps as colder air is forecast for the weekend for the free family events for all to come too and enjoy.
