The 2017 Ice Classic is underway. A spell of cold weather gave us some good ice in the north end of the harbor and today we launched the tower. Thanks to this years launch team, Mark Engelsman, Jim McDonough and Jimmy Wojan who brought his 4-weeler on the ice to assist.
Tickets are available at McDonoughs Market and the Community Center, $5,00 each or 6 (thatâ??s right six) for $20.00
The person who picks the correct date, hour and minute the tower goes into the water receives half the proceeds, the other half go to support the Beaver Island Community Center.

Bob, I think you have a typo on the ticket price; you dropped a zero. One ticket is $5,000, not $5,00 or 6 for $20.00. Put me down for 6 and a savings of $29,980.
