Any plans to farm ice? Other than the clinic area?
If this quarry was farmed aggressively, Sandstone could be a great ice fest. As it's been the last two years, I'm torn on even making the drive.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the work that goes into organizing, I just hate to see the this festival's potential not being met.
Thanks!

The plan is to start adding water during the Thanksgiving weekend, then again the week before the festival.
I recently had a meeting with some Sandstone city officials about adding a city water line to make it easier to farm ice. The community support is stronger then ever and the possibility for an ice park is looking very good.
