==VFK Ice Quest!==
7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, December 27th, 2009 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, December 28th, 2009.
As late as the mid 1900's, ice was cut in blocks and removed from the frozen lakes and ponds to be stored for many uses. Many people still remember when the ice wagon was a familiar sight on city streets, stopping and delivering ice to customers who had their "Ice Today" sign displayed in their window. The ice blocks would be placed in iceboxes to keep food cold, to cool drinks, make ice cream or a myriad other uses. On our quest today, we will look at the history of ice harvesting!
