The deadline of April 22, at 7 pm has passed for all Ice Classic ticket sales and guess drop-offs. Tickets can no longer be purchased and guesses can no longer be submitted.

Many thanks to Swanson’s and Crowley for selling tickets since March 31 and to AC for allowing BRHS students to sell tickets at the store, as well as ID Variety who also started selling tickets during the event.

Bethel Regional High School student activities will be the proceeds beneficiary this year. The winner will take home half of the earnings from all ticket sales. The winner will be the closest guess -without going over- to the time shown when the tripod movement stops the clock. Please note that the time that shows on the webcam featuring the tripod is not the official clock.

Watch for an announcement  in the next few days about the amount available for the winner!

Depending on the time the river breaks, the BreakUp Bash Celebration will happen the same day as breakup or the next day at the riverfront. Most years, the celebration is held on the same day the clock is stopped.

One hundred and thirteen pounds of cookies were made by 26 Bethel bakers for the 20^th annual Y/K Delta Lifesavers Christmas Cookie Extravaganza.

Within 15 minutes every single morsel was sold at the Cultural Center Sunday, December 15 2013.   The annual event raised  $1,137 dollars for the Lifesaver endowment fund housed under Bethel Community Services Foundation.   Once the money is added in, the fund will have grown to more than $220,600.  This will help fund beginning swim lessons when the Yukon-Kuskokwim Regional Aquatic Health & Safety Center is completed.   Click here for more information and history about the Lifesaver endowment fund. Designated charitable contributions to the fund may be made to BCSF.

The lifesavers would like to thank A.C. Store and KC supply for the containers and gloves  with a big quyana going out to the following bakers and volunteers:

Brittney Boney, Jonica Thomas, Sharon Sigmon, Mary Weiss, Julie Carpenter, Bev Hoffman, Ted and Heidi Simmons, Kathy Bowerman, Cauline Ferguson, Mike and Cecelia Martz, Reyne Athanas, Virginia McPhee, Eva Malvich, Kathy Baldwin, Judy Wasierski, Janet Kaiser, Tiffany Tony Family, Elizabeth Roll  Family, Barb Angaiak, Mary Pete, Kathy Hanson, Cindy Andrecheck, Millie and Suzi Twitchell, Nili Sundown Family & any other volunteers or bakers we forgot to name- thank you!
