MAYVILLE – For the first time in three years, crews have built a giant ice castle as part of the annual winter festival in Mayville, New York.
Mild weather the past two winters scrubbed the project. But this year is different, with the ice at least 15 inches thick in Chautauqua Lake.
Lakeside park will host the president’s day weekend winter festival in Mayville.
The festival will also include a polar plunge. It runs Saturday through Monday.
Events begin with the lighting of the ice castle Friday at 6 p.m., then a full weekend of activities at lakeside park.
