Ullr, the Norwegian God of ice and snow, approves the burning of a sacrificial pig in homage to winter and the delivery of ice to Lake Erie and the Bass Islands.  Local residents gathered for the friendly, community event—sponsored by Captain Billy Market of Miller Boat Line—to proclaim a desire for good ice!  Good ice enables successful ice-fishing.  Adults and children alike enjoyed a warm bonfire, hot dogs, and favored beverages as the harbor was illuminated by the burning pig, fireworks, and sparklers.
