Knickerbocker Adds Trivia Contest to Events!
There’s even more fun planned for the third annual Lake Mills Main Street Program’s Knickerbocker Ice Festival, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, February 5 & 6.  Besides the ice sculptures, Iceberg Open golf tournament and ice fisheree on Rock Lake, games in the park, chili cook-off, and special offers from a number of local businesses, there will be a Trivia Contest on Friday Feb. 5.

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 complete rules go to www.WhyLegendary.com and click on Feb. 5th 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. The Knickerbocker button, sold for $15 each, will get you free entry to the Iceberg Open golf tournament, a discount on the fisheree registration, a discount on Knickerbocker merchandise and all kinds of specials and deals from Lake Mills businesses. Buttons will be available for purchase at many downtown businesses the first weekend of December.

Carp’s Landing will host the second annual Fire & Ice Chili Cook-off from 11 am 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 all day.

The Sno Ball Eating Contest, frozen fish toss and the IdiderDAD race are again scheduled for Commons Park on Saturday afternoon. Competitors in the Sno Ball eating contest will be required to open and eat their snack cakes with their mittens on. 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 harness dads to sleds, provided by The Main Street Program, with a kid of their choice on board. Registration for these events is free and can be done before the event starts.
