Lucky break
Summit County Rotary Club Ice Melt winner 2009
Had an ice time.
In Summit County, residents annually bet on the hour that the Rotary Club’s clock, parked on the Dillon Reservoir ice since the last freeze-over, plunges into the thawing Dillon Reservoir. This year’s winner, Sharon Jones-Bird of Frisco, was just 1 minute and 1 second off the precise moment that the battery-powered clock splashed down, literally freezing that moment in time.
