3. Guess any date/s between now and Ice Out***

4. Contest open until The TownLine announces Ice Out

5. In case of a tie, winner will be selected at random from correct guesses

​
Finally, for reference, we graphed The TownLine's previously published Ice Out dates below. NOTE: Between 1874-2024, Ice Out data wasn't consecutively recorded for 54 yrs., so only 98 yrs. of data exist.

​

​* Matching ends once $5,000 is raised.

** Checks must be postmarked prior to Ice Out and list date guesses to qualify for entry.

***Defined as the date published by The TownLine.
