HOUGHTON — The Houghton Rotary Club is excited to announce the return of “Sink the Sled.” The popular fundraising event began on Saturday, Jan. 29, and will conclude when warm Spring weather melts the ice and the sled sinks into Portage Lake.

Anyone, anywhere can play — simply buy an entry and make your best guess for the exact moment the sled sinks.

Guess the correct month, day, hour, and minute and you could win up to $1,000.

The purchase of a ticket gives you an entry/guess for the contest. Tickets will be sold throughout the rest of winter until either the sled sinks or until April 30, 2022.

The winning ticket will receive 50% of the net sales (up to $1,000). The remaining proceeds will support the Houghton Rotary’s scholarship program and other community activities.

Pay $5 for one guess/entry or $10 for three guesses/entries. The guess closest to the day and time of the sinking will be determined by a time-stamped webcam video.

All entries are completed online at: https://sinkthesled.org/. For more information, contact Scott Blake, president of the Houghton Rotary Club at sblake@gmail.com.
