The Northern Maine Ice Busters, a St. John Valley group that holds the current world record for building the largest ice carousel, is setting its sight on two new records. At an event in March, it hopes to create the first ice carousel with an international boundary running directly through the middle, and the largest one on a river. An ice carousel is a piece of ice cut into a perfect circle over a body of water and designed to spin in a circle. In order for a carousel to qualify for world record status, it needs to spin one entire revolution. They will probably cut the circle on Friday and spin it on Saturday and Sunday.
