Carveth’s Marina Ice Out Date Contest

Snowmobilers love it when the lake freezes over and they can zip around the lake…However, that’s not me! What I look forward to is when the ice finally leaves Stoney Lake and we can start getting those boats back in the water!

For many years now, I have been having a contest for the families and friends of Carveth’s Marina, to guess the “Ice Out Date”.  That’s the day when the ice is completely out of the lake.

It’s a Fun Contest and of course, there are prizes for the winners who correctly guess the date.

1st Prize – Your Choice of:

        (a) Bottle of Crown Royal
        (b) Stoney Lake Sweatshirt
        (c) Boater’s Fire Extinguisher

2 nd Prize – Your Choice of:
        (a) Bottle of Bailey’s
        (b) Emergency Boater’s Kit
        (c) Carveth’s Marina Gift

Certificate:
     – $35.00 Value

3 rd Prize – Your Choice of:
        (a) Bottle of Red Vine
        (b) Carveth’s Marina Gift Certificate:
   – $25.00 Value

Here are some “Ice Out” dates from the past 43 years that might help you submit an educated guess.

Just send me an email at carvethsmarina1928@hotmail.com with the date you think the ice will finally be out and you’ll be entered into the contest. If there are ties, all the names will be put into a hat and the winners will be picked from there.

Good Luck,
Randy Hauth.
