WILTON — Bruce Dyke, caretaker of the Wilson Lake ice out and member of the Wilton Fish and Game Association, is questioning when the ice will go out. After more than two feet of snow, now the weather is in the high 40s. When will spring arrive?
Residents who wish can take a chance on when the ice goes out and win a nice crisp $100 bill. For $5 you could be the winner with the right guess on when the last iceberg leaves the lake.
The ice is considered out on Wilson Lake when a boat can go from the boat launch to the big island without touching ice.
Pick up your ticket from Bruce Dyke, Steve’s Market in Dryden; Law Mountain Bakery, Pond Road, Wilton; Robin’s Bait Shop, Jay; or just put your name, contact number and money in an envelope with the month, day, hour and minute the ice will go out and mail it to Bruce Dyke, P.O. Box 605, Wilton, ME 04294.
The deadline is April 1 or tickets must be received 48 hours prior to ice out. Funds will go to the Wilton Fish & Game Association.
Good luck!
