Contest Rules

  • The FLA member who submits the closest guess to the actual Ice Out Date will be the winner. 

  • In the event of more than one correct guess, a random draw among correct guesses will occur to determine who receives the prize.

  • The Ice Out Date is the first day Fairy Lake is judged to be free of ice covering. 

  • The Ice Out Date will be determined by a consensus of FLA volunteer observers who visually monitor the lake and declare when the ice has disappeared completely.
