Congratulations Eric for being the oldest Charlie finder of the year. I'm surprised that hat didn't scare Charlie away.

Congrats to Abby for finding Charlie

 The week of June 25 – July 3 was a very busy week for Charlie. There were 4 groups of kids searching for him. Charlie had 12 hiding spots in just one week. Below are each of the busy hunters!

Quinn was the first to find Charlie. He found him with in the first hour after he arrived. He found Charlie 3 or 4 times while he was here.

Buddies Susie and Addy had fun hiding Charlie. It was always a race between them and Quinn!

Katlyn found a great hiding spot for Charlie during the week.

Drew was the youngest hunter of the group

 This week, July 3rd has been a quiet week for Charlie as there has only been one group of kids looking. Once they hid him, he has stayed well hidden.

Brianna, Abbey, Alyssa and Elliott will have to check out the blog to see who found Charlie where they hid him.

Charlie’s been active

Charlie’s been active and I haven’t gotten his picture up lately. I know there will be kids looking for their picture…so here they are.

Niko and Lexi had fun looking for Charlie. They hid him in a great spot. It took the kids the following week awhile to find him.

 

It took several clues, but Hannah and Emily finally found Charlie where Niko and Lexi had hidden him.

 

Rachel found Charlie a couple of times this last week. Way to go Rachel!

Kaylee and Derek had fun with Charlie too. Kaylee would hide him, then Rachel would find him and hide him. Back and forth it went all week.

Charlie’s retrieval

We pulled Charlie out of the lake today. He’s been washed and packed away for next year.

No canoe retrieval this year. Charlie floated towards the shore.

 

With no cement block on Charlie this year, he was easier to fish out of the lake.

 

Charlie drying out.

Charlie Sinks

We kept an eye on Charlie all day and the wind did the job. He sunk around 6PM tonight. Congratulations to Randy Friesema who wins this year’s ice out contest! There were three other people who chose today; John Fenley, Matthew Herringa and Lynn Herringa. But Randy’s time of 4:10 PM was the closest to Charlie’s demise. WE didn’t tie a cement block onto Charlie this year and the life jacket is strong enough to help both Charlie and the chair float. IT’s good to know the life jackets do their job!

 We hope you all had fun with this years ice out contest. We look forward to next year. We’ll post pictures when Charlie is retrieved from the lake. There is still a lot of ice to leave the lake. It’s been slow this year with all the fluctuations of temperatures.

Charlie will float for a while until we can retrieve him.

Tax day just might be Charlie’s day

With the high winds today, Charlie just might make his final plunge. Or will the 5 inches of snow they are predicting for tonight freeze the water back up around him. Stay tuned, I’ll keep you posted of any changes.

Will Charlie completely submerge today?
