IceMelt 2016- Under Way

 

 

The 10^th Anniversary Evergreen Ice Melt Contest, sponsored by the Mountain Foothills Rotary Club is in full swing with the official barrel placement on January 4.  Look for the barrel in a new location – near the warming hut alongside Evergreen Lake’s main skating area.  The goal of this year’s contests is to raise money from ticket sales in support of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District Special Needs Program, Evergreen Christian Outreach, Crutches 4 Africa and charitable programs of the Mountain Foothills Rotary Foundation.

The contest challenges ticket holders to guess the exact date and time the Rotary barrel will fall through the ice on the lake.  First prize is $1,000, second place is $500, third place wins $250 and the fourth luckiest guess receives $125.

 

The event would not be possible without the generosity of numerous local sponsors.  This year’s premium level sponsors are Chuck Ridings State Farm Insurance, Colorado Serenity, Evergreen Clothing Company and Willow Creek Restaurant.  Gold level sponsors are Evergreen National Bank, Elevation Dental and JustAroundHere. 1^st Bank of Evergreen, Mike Bornhouser, Chow Down, Dogma, DW’s 285 Diner, El Rancho, Evergreen Artists Association, Intero, Kittredge Auto Rebuilders, Jerry Lautigar, Mount Vernon Country Club, Mark Ryan, Smiling Moose Deli, and Bob Zavodsky are silver sponsors this year.  Bronze sponsors are Beaver Brook Pet Center, Cabinets of Denver, Corfee and Associates, Bill Downes, Everbean, Firestone, Nancy Grant, Wally Griffin, L&H Autobody, Michael Lanier, Lariat Lodge, Manning Financial Advisors, Pandora John Properties, Warren Rose, SC Robert, C.P.A., Dave Talbot, and Trent Winegar.
