The Wisconsin winter was so cold during filming that the cameras had difficulty functioning.
While clearing the ice for the ice skating scene, the front loader clearing the ice fell through a soft spot. The front loader was successfully rescued, had its motor replaced, and was used for several years.
A premiere showing took place at Northland Baptist Bible College, where many of the winter scenes were filmed.
Most of the extras for the ice skating scene were staff and students of Northland Baptist Bible College.
