Sebec Lake Ice Out Contest tickets will be on sale soon

DOVER-FOXCROFT — The GFWC/Miosac Club is conducting its 2016 Sebec Lake Ice Out Contest. Tickets may be purchased from any club member from Feb. 15 through March 31. Monies raised will be used to maintain a variety of club projects in the area. The person who guesses the closest date and time the ice will go out of the Narrows will receive a check for $100.

Ice out dates on Sebec Lake have been recorded since May 1879. Research on the dates were released by the Sebec Lake Fish and Game Association with the assistance of Ruth Weatherbee. In the spring of 1976 former GFWC Miosac Club member Laura Stacy came up with the idea of a Sebec Lake Ice Out Guessathon. It is now known as the Ice Out Contest. This had become an annual event for the club with much anticipation from local residents. This year’s judge will be Dennis Hersey.
