2013 Evergreen IceMelt Gets Underway
Evergreen Ice Melt Contest Officially Underway with Barrel Placed on Lake Jan. 2nd
Evergreen, CO – Members of the Mountain Foothills Rotary Club placed the 2013 Evergreen Ice Melt Contest barrel on Evergreen Lake on Wednesday, January 2 at 3 p.m. Club member, Jerry Lautigar, assisted by Club President Trent Winegar and other Rotarians, cut a hole in the ice into which the barrel was set. It will be monitored until it falls into the lake when the ice thaws. 
Individuals can participate in the Ice Melt Contest by purchasing tickets and entering the date and time when they believe the barrel will fall through the ice. Tickets and more contest details are available at www.EvergreenIceMelt.com. First place prize for the most accurate guess is $1,000; second place $500; third place $250; and fourth place $125. Proceeds from ticket sales go to support Evergreen Christian Outreach, the EPRD Special Needs Program, and charitable causes of the Mountain Foothills Rotary Foundation.
