“Last year, during the pandemic, so
many people came out and the busi-
nesses got the shot in the arm they
really need at this time of year. I think
this festival makes a positive impact on
the community at a time they really
need it,” Gietzen said.
The proximity to Valentine's Day
and the “big” football game aren't lost

ples to come to the festival and see the
ice before they celebrate the holiday,”
he said. “And families can visit the fes-
tival before they go to watch the game
on Sunday.”
