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:

(a) Bottle of Red Vine
(b) Carveth’s Marina Gift Certificate:
– $25.00 Value

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.
