BP ICE FEST IN JEAOPARDY

The Breezy Point Ice Fest is nearly a month away but some are thinking it may have to be postponed or some of its events canceled again this year. Activities on the ice like the snowmobile time trials and the world famous power ice auger contest scheduled for last year's festival had to be canceled because the ice was not thick enough. Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Nikki Shouts said some are concerned it may happen again because the ice on many area lakes is not freezing up. Shouts said the Breezy Point Ice Fest is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, January 11th and 12th. A final decision will be made on Monday, January 7th.
