(Arnolds Park)– The Rotary car has gone through the ice…another sure sign of spring. It happened very early Tuesday evening, a little after 6:00 pm.
We won’t know who the winner is of the contest until the car is brought out of Smith’s Bay. A clock that’s in the car is specially rigged to stop once it becomes submerged. The winner will be determined by the time that’s on the clock.
The car drop contest serves as a fundraiser each year for the service club.
The engine and other components have been removed from the vehicle so as not to pose any environmental threats.
You can see a video of the car actually going through the ice on the Explore Okoboji Facebook page.
