Philanthropists will be braving the elements this weekend to combat hunger during a couple chilly rounds of disc golf. The Halbur Ice Bowl will kick off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3 at the course in Halbur Park. Ice Bowls are held across the nation, but this is the first time one has been held in our area. Money raised from the event will benefit the Community of Concern Food Pantry. Carroll Area Disc Golf Association Board Member, Jacob Fiscus, says you cannot have an Ice Bowl without fighting hunger.

Normally only the most dedicated disc golfers would hit the course in the heart of winter. Fiscus says that is not the case for the Ice Bowl.
