GFWC Miosac Club sponsors Sebec Lake ‘Ice-Out contest’

Ellen Curtiss •March 4, 2015

    SEBEC — The GFWC Miosac Club is conducting its 2015 Sebec Lake Ice-Out Contest. Tickets may be purchased from any club member now through Tuesday, March 31.  Money raised will be used to maintain a variety of club projects in the Dover-Foxcroft area.

    Tickets are $1 each or six for $5.  The person who guesses the closest date and time the ice will go out of the narrows at Sebec Lake will receive a $100 check.
    Ice-out dates on Sebec Lake have been recorded since May 1879.  Research on the dates were released by the Sebec Lake Fish and Game Association with the assistance of Ruth Weatherbee.
    In the spring of 1976, former GFWC Miosac Club member, Laura Stacy, came up with the idea of a Sebec Lake “Ice-Out” Guess-athon.  It is now known as the “ice-out” contest. This has become an annual event for the Club since its inception with much anticipation from local residents.
    This year’s judge will be Dennis Hersey.
    For more information or for tickets, please call Anne Cress at 717-7576.
