Community gearing up for Polar Fest
Most events have someone who takes ownership and organizes the entire event, with some delegation of work, of course. The organizing group — like the Jaycees, Chamber, Rotary or Kiwanis — has a home base and the public can identify with who the leading group is. Not so with Polar Fest.

Thanks to those that made Polar Fest a success
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all those that made this year’s Polar Fest another success. With events ranging from the return of the Breakfast Rotary’s Poles ‘N Holes Fishing Derby on Little Detroit Lake to Polar Explorer Will Steger at the Historic Holmes Theater, vintage snowmobile racing, golfing, motorcycle stunt exhibitions, boot hockey, youth fishing derby and ice harvesting demonstration, the 5K Freeze Your Buns Run, topped off by spectacular fireworks at the city beach and Polaritaville Dance, it was fantastic!

Correction
In the Feb. 12 issue of the Becker County Record, the story on Legacy Funds incorrectly stated that Legacy Funds were used to bring explorer Will Steger to speak during Polar Fest. The Steger event was actually funded by the Becker County Friends of the Library, with assistance from Lakeshirts, the Lodge on the Lake and Seaberg Power Sports.

Cold, clear cubes: A look back at local ice harvesting
About 50-60 years ago, ice harvesting was the second largest industry in Becker County. Second only to timber and logging, ice harvesting has now become a novelty with many stories now just a memory. Last week’s Brown Bag Lunch series at the Becker County Historical Society featured ice harvesting, and the historical society is also sponsoring an ice cutting demonstration on Saturday as the ice is cut for the Polar Fest Plunge.
