On a secluded Island out in Northern Lake Michigan, there is a local game of skill that everyone in the US can now participate!

When will the buoy sink this spring? It's a game of skill!

The Ice Classic Tower is freshly painted and in place on Paradise Bay. So, the clock is now running on your chance to have some fun and help support PABI by entering the 2018 Ice Classic.

All you need to do to win is predict the date and time this spring that the Ice Classic Tower will fall through the ice.

Tickets to enter your carefully researched and scientifically supported prediction (or your guess) are just $5 each or five for $20.

The person who picks the correct date, hour and minute the tower goes into the water receives half the proceeds. The other half goes to support the BIC Center and WVBI.

NOT ON THE ISLAND? You can still join in the fun!
You can view the Beaver Island Michigan Ice Classic Buoy on the Community Centers We**am HERE: https://wvbi.biccenter.org/webcams

For phone/credit card orders, please call 231.448.2022
M-F, 9-5 ~ Sat. 9am-9pm
