About the event
Wednesday, February 15th ~ The planning committee has decided to postpone the derby due to the ice conditions. We'll hope that Mother Nature comes through for us, as we give her one more week to build up the ice. The committee will decide again in one week's time if we're a go for Saturday the 24th. Raffle tickets will still be available up until the 24th and the drawing for the ice augur will still take place if we're unable to fish. Stay tuned!
