04/09/2021 - Early Ice Out
Our impartial observer and "ice out" judge has officially declared Big Sand Lake free of winter's grasp and is clear of ice as of 6:00 pm, April 7, 2021. We had 25 registered participants enter their guesses all the way from late March to early May...and the winning prediction of April 7th was submitted by Tom Kimmer. Congratulations Tom! I'm not sure if this is like a "hole-in-one" with the winner's responsibility.....😏.....but, we should all congratulate Tom when we next see him. Thanks to all participants! See you in the sunshine!
