Stop by to help build! We're usually there Saturdays and Sundays from ~noon to 4:30 pm.

Around 80 person-hours have gone into the construction of this work of art. Located on Monona Bay, near Brittingham Park, the igloo is a refuge for those who make the sometimes treacherous trek across the ice.

We had a great first day yesterday, getting ~3 levels of bricks stacked. If you want to join the build, we'll be out there from 10-3 on Saturday for the Clean Lakes Alliance, of Dane County's "Frozen Assets Festival" at The Edgewater Madison, so come on out! No experience necessary -- we'll gladly teach you the ropes.

A little later than we would have liked, but Nature finally gave us some/a lot of snow. We're looking at working on the 'gloo in the next day or two -- stay tuned!

Hello everyone,

After several rounds of (failed) negotiations with Mother Nature, we have decided to CANCEL the igloo build tomorrow -- there just isn't enough snow :/

However, we will *for sure* be building next Saturday, Feb. 7 during the Frozen Assets Festival, and possibly one evening this coming week, so stay tuned and dream of snow!!

Love,
Lake Monona Igloo & Clean Lakes Alliance, of Dane County
