SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) — Superior officials say work will resume on an ice sculpture that collapsed this week. Roger Hanson was trying to create a 75-foot-tall ice sculpture that would be the centerpiece of a festival on Barker’s Island this month. But the creation, more than a month in the making, collapsed Tuesday after its core apparently was weakened by warm weather. In a statement, Mayor Bruce Hagen says the city intends to move forward with creating a signature winter event in Superior. Hanson began work to repair his equipment and rebuild the sculpture on Wednesday morning. Hanson says in a statement he’s “not a quitter” and adds: “My work here is not done.” The city paid Hanson $30,000 to create the sculpture.
