Mayville Ice Castle Constructed, Lighting Ceremony Tonight

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.
