At 6:00 pm Monday evening the pallet and clock balanced as a portion leaned into open water. Ticket sales ended this past Sunday, just in the nick of time.

The contest is to guess when the ice will go out East of the Lake Nepco Bridge.
Participants will guess the day, the hour and the minute. The individual guessing the closest without going over will win this 50/50 raffle. If more than one individual guesses the correct date, hour and minute, the 50/50 pot will be split equally.
Tethered to the front of the boat is a pallet holding two 40-pound cinder blocks and a battery operated clock. When the pallet submerses below the ice the clock will stop. The date the pallet completely submerses, combined with the time reading on the clock will determine our winner.
