Ice Out Contest Winner!

Congratulations to our 2025 Clear Lake Earth Days Ice Out contest winner – Summer Bendickson of Clear Lake!
She won $100 in Clear Lake Chamber Bucks! (and her children already had lots of ideas on how to spend it )
Ice Out Contest Winner 2025
Two entrants chose March 17, the closest to the official date of March 18. And Summer’s name was drawn! Thanks to all who entered the contest.   
 
This fun tradition brings us together to celebrate the changing seasons. Clear Lake Water Department Superintendent Adam Theiss has the official responsibility of declaring both “Ice-In” (when the lake fully freezes) and “Ice Out” (once the lake is entirely free of ice with no large chunks remaining).
