Take that, Finland! Mainers create massive ice carousel on frozen lake
https://www.pressherald.com/2018/04/07/mainers-create-massive-ice-carousel-on-frozen-lake/SINCLAIR – Residents in a Maine town believe they’ve created the world’s largest ice carousel on a frozen lake.
About 100 volunteers cut a circle in the ice that’s 427 feet in diameter, and they used four outboard boat motors to get it rotating on Saturday. It happened in Sinclair, a village in an unorganized territory in Aroostook County.
Mike Cyr, one of the organizers, announced, “We got ‘er spinning!”
He said the ice carousel is big enough to break the world record held by a town in Finland. A surveying team confirmed the measurements on Saturday.
