Evergreen Ice Melt Contest

This season’s event started with many challenges including COVID restrictions and a late freezing of the lake. Not to mention, this event is a long event spanning from November of 2021 to April 2022.

Mountain Foothills Rotary would like to thank all those who made this event possible including the sponsors, people who financially donated, student volunteers, people who donated time, businesses who helped sell tickets and everyone who bought tickets.

The Evergreen Ice Melt Contest is an annual tradition in Evergreen and is one of the events that make this community a special place. Without everyone’s participation this event would not have happened. We will be giving the proceeds to our beneficiaries in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, please thank our sponsors and the businesses who helped sell tickets by visiting their establishments.

Again, thanks to everyone who participated! We are looking forward to next season!

Thanks,
Keith Dragon
2021/2022 Ice Melt Chairperson

Mountain Foothills Rotary thanks all of our 2021/2022 Event Sponsors! They make this event possible for us to give back to the Evergreen Community.

When doing business in our community we ask that you please choose their products and services first! These organizations have chosen to make a difference in the Evergreen Community.

The barrel idea came while visiting the Summit County Rotary Club in Dillon who had been doing the Ice Melt contest for a number of years. Several members of the Mountain Foothills Rotary Club decided this would be a good fundraiser for our club. So with a lot of help from local sponsors and members, the first Ice Melt Contest started on December 31, 2006 in conjunction with the Skate the Lake event in Evergreen.

Since the 2006/2007 season, Mountain Foothills Rotary in Evergreen has been holding the Ice Melt event on Evergreen Lake to benefit the Evergreen Parks & Recreation Department INSPIRE - Special Needs Program and Evergreen Christian Outreach (EChO) with a small amount going to our Club Foundation. Over the years the Ice Melt fundraiser has raised thousands of dollars for the community at large.

Rotary is an international organization of business and professional leaders providing humanitarian services, encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations and helping to build goodwill around the world.

We focus on doing the good work that all Rotary clubs do, but also upon these things that make us unique:

• We are a manageable size so we all know each other personally
• We have fun doing what we do
• We don’t take ourselves too seriously
• Being an evening club, we are able to include a short social event each week

I invite you to come and meet us any Wednesday at Mt. Vernon Country Club. We meet at 6:30 PM. Most of us come at least a half hour early to socialize.

Yours in Rotary,

PJ Dyon
President
Rotary Club of Mountain Foothills of Evergreen, Colorado
