Deka's ice-out clock stopped at 2:44.48 p.m. on May 2.
The winner was Donna Jarvis, naturally, as it was her 70th birthday, with a guess of 2:30.05. She also won in 2012.
Second prize went to Terry Allan's guess of 2:18.08 p.m., and third went to Ruth Allan's guess of 5:16.42 p.m.
Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) appreciates the support, and especially mentions Ruth and Jim Watson for doing all the work.
