WINTER ENTERTAINMENT!! GUESS THE MONTH, DAY AND TIME THE ICE WILL MELT FROM THE LAKE!!

In 1993, our Lake Harvey Association held its first Ice Out Contest. It has since become a popular annual tradition. To assist (or confuse) entrants in making their best guess as to the month and day of the official melting, lake historian Elmer Faris kindly provided the these records from 1946 through 1992. Years since are documented by the "official" Association volunteer timekeepers.

As you can see, the earliest recorded day was March 23, 1947, and the latest notated as May 8, 1971, following a very long and especially cold winter. By Elmer's definition, on those days the lake was completely clear of ice. The Association "clock" may stop a bit sooner (or not), a factor you may wish to consider along with the local winter weather conditions to date. The Farmers Almanac may be helpful. And perhaps a warm sunny day has an edge over a cold dark night - but it's your guess that counts, not ours!

Tickets are $2.00 each, six (6) for $10.00, or a lucky thirteen (13) for $20.00.

Print your tickets, fill them in, enclose a check and mail to:

Lake Harvey Association, PO Box 86, Barnet, VT 05821.
Submissions must be postmarked no later than Saturday April 1, 2011.

The winning entrant will receive fifty percent (50%) of the total dollars contributed. Those contributions are tax deductible, and help support our July fireworks display.

HAVE FUN, AND GOOD LUCK!!!
