Overview

There was a time and place during each summer when winter was given back to folks in a small Minnesota farming town. Winter was simply saved by cutting up the town's ice skating rink and storing that ice in a large barn until summer arrived. The ice man would then begin to deliver those winter memories so folks could put it in their ice boxes to keep their food cool and fresh. Those young boys in that small farming town should have known better. Sneaking into the icehouse was not intended to cool off! But rather, it was to verify how cool they thought they were. Such thinking could lead to catching some chilling outcome, or maybe even catching a little heat!
