Seventh Annual 'Ice-Out' contest underway

Watching ice melt can be fun and exciting this week as the Seventh Annual "Ice-Out" contest continues at Patrick's Pub in Gilford.

Approximately 1200 lbs of ice has been placed on Patrick’s front sidewalk and contestants must guess the day, hour, and minute of when the ice will melt (when the last piece of ice turns to water). The deadline for entries is Friday at midnight.

Prizes for the contest are as follows: 1st Place: Comedy & Dinner for Four at Patrick’s Comedy Night; 2nd Place: Dinner for two at Patrick's Comedy Night; 3rd Place: Dinner for two at Patrick's Pub. Chances for the Ice-Out contest are $2 each or three for $5. All money collected will go directly to Community Health & Hospice. Tickets for the contest may be purchased at Patrick’s anytime before midnight Friday, April 16.

Patrick’s is also hosting a special Ice-Out Party Friday Night, featuring The Grinning Lizards band, Games, Prizes and Ice-Out Menu Specials. For more information, contact Allan Beetle at Patrick’s Pub and Eatery in Gilford at 293-0841.
