As we reported last month, the future of 'Iceman' Roger Hanson's contract with the City of Superior was on thin ice following two years of weather-related issues and limited community support. The Superior City Council has now officially made a decision on the third and final year of his contract with the city.

As we've reported previously, "Iceman" Roger Hanson is at work, constructing his second ice project for the City of Superior on Barker's Island.

After collapsing in early February, creator Roger Hanson resurrected the ice project on Barkers Island in Superior for visitors to enjoy for several weeks.
