The 2012 Millers Mills Ice Harvest has been canceled.
The members of the Millers Mills Grange were forced to cancel this year’s event due to a lack of ice.
The event is scheduled every year for the second Sunday in February and this year was no different. Feb. 12 was when the harvest was supposed to take place, but because of the warmer temperatures, the harvest will no longer be taking place this year.
