Lake Ice Pick Runs Through March 20
LAKEWOOD – The Chautauqua Lake Association is hosting its annual winter fundraiser, the Chautauqua Lake Ice Pick contest. The contest invites participants to predict the exact date and time (to the minute) when the CLA’s ice pick will fall through the ice on Chautauqua Lake. The contest runs until March 20, and winners will receive cash prizes, including a grand prize of $250. Money raised will support the CLA’s lake maintenance and clean-up programs. To enter, participants make a $5 donation for each guess, with multiple guesses encouraged. This tradition, modeled after an Alaskan event, has been a way to engage the community during the long winter season.
