Knickerbocker Adds Decorated Sleigh Parade to Events!
There’s even more fun planned for the fourth annual Lake Mills Main Street Program’s Knickerbocker Ice Festival, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, February 4 & 5. Besides the ice sculptures, Iceberg Open golf tournament and ice fisheree on Rock Lake, games in the park, chili cook-off, and Team Trivia Contest on Friday, there will be a decorated Sleigh Parade around Commons Park at 1:00. Bring the whole family!

The Trivia Contest will be held from 7:00 to 10:00 in the Community Room at City Hall, 200 Water St. Teams can have between six and eight players; each player pays $10 to play. Prizes will be given to the top three teams. Teams will play five rounds with ten general trivia questions per round. The questions will be given verbally and repeated twice. Each team turns in one answer sheet. The team with the most correct answers overall wins. In the event of a tie, there will be a tie breaker round of three questions. All money raised will go to the Lake Mills Main Street Program. For updates go to www.Legendary.com and click on Feb. 4th on the calendar.

Just like last year, there will be a special Main Street Event Menu that features Knickerbocker food and drink items and many of the retailers will have special deals for ice festival attendees.  (No buttons this year)

Carp’s Landing will host the third annual Fire & Ice Chili Cook-off from noon until 2 pm. Contestants will compete for cash prizes in three chili categories, red, white and green. Judging will be done by event goers who will pay $5 to sample each chili and rate each one on a point system. The chili with the most points at the end of the event will win. Registration is at Carp’s Landing, entry fee is $5.

 
Ice carvers will invade downtown Lake Mills starting at 9 am on Saturday and will be working on their carvings. Depending on the weather they will be finished around 1:00.

The Snow Ball Eating Contest, Frozen Fish Toss and the IdiderDAD Race are again scheduled for Commons Park on Saturday afternoon. Action starts at 1:30. Competitors in the Snow Ball eating contest will be required to eat their yummy snowballs with their mittens on. Snow Balls are created and donated by Water House Foods Cafe & Bakehouse! The Frozen Fish Toss will be like an old fashioned egg toss, with teams of two tossing the fish back and forth across an ever widening space. Drop the fish and get disqualified. The IdiderDAD Race will dads pulling a sled, provided by The Main Street Program, with a kid of their choice on board. These contests are free and no pre-registration is required.
