"It’s that time of year to get your guesses in for the state’s premier ice-out contest....
Proceeds are split 50/50 between the winner(s) and the Joe’s Pond Association, which use the money for the annual fireworks display and water quality, and other programs..."

"Tickets go on sale on March 1 and must be returned or postmarked by April 1 with the guesses. If the ice goes out early, the contest is over, so officials encourage everyone to get their guesses in early."

Last year, the ice went out on April 19 at 4:51 a.m.
