The River
Ice Goes Out on the River
Ice-out pool won by a guess of March 19
By Maggie Thorne
The ice went out on the river on Thursday, and the Diner's ice-out pool was won by Harold Penney, who guessed March 19 and says he has been guessing March 19 for eleven years.
The pool raised $84 for the Booster Club.
