BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY

I just had a message from Homer Fitts saying he was out on the ice at around 2 o'clock this afternoon. Here's what he said:

I JUST CAME IN FROM WALKING ON THE ICE AND IT IS STILL 18 TO 19 INCHES THICK OUT BY THE CINDER BLOCK.
PEOPLE FISHING YESTERDAY AND TODAY. EASY WALKING AND DID NOT EVEN SINK INTO ANYTHING AT ALL. JUST LIKE WALKING ON A SIDEWALK.

It surely has been a great day - lots of sunshine and quite warm, in the 50's. There are signs the ice is beginning to pull away from shore a little in some places. There is no point in urging everyone to buy Ice-Out tickets because there are no more. A few have trickled in from Association members who didn't use theirs, and we thank you for getting them to us; however, lots of folks didn't get a ticket, and we are sorry about that. After slow sales early in the month, in the last two weeks tickets have suddenly become non-existant. Who knew?! Good luck to all who did get to join in the fun of the game.
