When Bauge was deported from the United States in 1994 for overstaying his visa, his mother was evicted and the authorities discovered Morstøl and [[Al Campbell]] in the shed. The resulting nationwide media coverage eventually turned into the yearly Frozen Dead Guy Days celebration in Nederland, first started in 2002. For March 2023, the festival moved to Estes Park, Colorado.

Bo Shaffer, also known as The Iceman, was the CEO of a local company called Delta Tech which was contracted to supply dry ice to the shed. Shaffer was the caretaker of the shed from 1995 to 2012.<ref name="FDGD guide 2014">[https://issuu.com/wideawakemedia/docs/fdgdguide.2014 Keeping Grandpa Frozen]. Amber Erickson Gabbey.
