Ice-Out Contest

Our 2012 Ice-Out Contest is fully under way.

On Saturday, February 4, with cold weather and on 12 inches of ice on the Grist Mill Pond, the Ice-Out Hut was moved to its place in the center of the pond to patiently await the big spring event...ICE-OUT.

Ticket sales boxes are located at various businesses in Killington
(see below for a list) and mail in tickets are available on line (see below for information).

My name is Chilly, and I am the mascot of the Killington-Pico Rotary Ice-Out Contest.

Join in the fun, and purchase a ticket. You could win up to $20,000.

Thank you. Chilly

____________________________________________________________________ WHAT IS THE KILLINGTON-PICO ROTARY ICE-OUT CONTEST?

The Killington-Pico Rotary Club each year engages in several fund raising projects, such as a golf tournament, pancake breakfast, football tickets, building Adirondack ski chairs, Christmas tree sale, etc. The proceeds from such events help Killington-Pico Rotary to fund its charities and local projects.

This winter our Ice-Out Contest will return to the Grist Mill Pond. The object of the contest is for the ticket purchaser to guess the month, day, hour, minute and second that the ice will ‘go out’ on the pond in the spring. The moment of Ice-Out is determined when a 72-pound concrete block located in the Hut drops through the melting ice in the spring. A timing device will determine the exact moment of Ice-Out.

This is a 50/50 event meaning that 50% of the proceeds (up to $20,000*) will be the winning prize, and the remainder will go toward the club’s charities and projects. * Limited By Vermont State Law
