Ice Melt Contest
   
25th Annual Dillon Ice Melt

February through May 2010
Lake Dillon | Previous Times

The Device has dropped and the winners are announced

The clock stopped on Sunday, MAY 16th at 7pm, 03 minutes, and 14 seconds. First place ($2000) went to Aiden McGeehan from Frisco, CO (6 min and 18 sec from the exact time). Second place ($750) went to Brian Follett from Woodbury, MN (11 min and 12 sec from exact time). Third place ($500) went to Brandee Zeal from Phoenix, AZ (21 min and 6 sec from exact time.)

Each year since 1985, the Summit County Rotary Club has anticipated the spring thaw on Lake Dillon, by placing a device on the ice, which has the uncanny ability to know precisely when it gets wet. Proceeds from this event are put to good use when the Rotary Club grants scholarships to deserving Summit County students.
