Nenana Ice Classic is KUAC’s Featured Sponsor for March

The Nenana Ice Classic is the annual guessing game for when the Tanana River will break up and topple the tripod erected on the ice at the city of Nenana. Red-colored cans are distributed around the state from Feb. 1 through April 5. People can guess the exact month, day, hour and minute that the ice will go out. Each guess costs $2.50.

In 2019, the sole winning guess won $311,652. The ice went out at 12:21 a.m. on April 14, the earliest ever recorded in the contest’s 103-year history.

This year, indoor events have been canceled due to the pandemic. On Sunday, March 7, the Ice Classic plans to hold the outdoor pop scramble for kids, the traditional raising of the tripod, and host a display of fireworks that evening.

Proceeds from the Nenana Ice Classic fund three scholarships for students and provide donations to the Nenana Volunteer Fire Department, Nenana Public Library and helps fund Nenana City School student trips and functions.

It also provides employment for the 75 to 100 local residents who make up the Ice Pool. They sort thousands of tickets, bundle the tickets, document the tickets, and double check and triple check the results.

Cherrie Forness, Nenana Ice Classic manager, said, “We have supported KUAC over the many years because they support many communities around the state. We enjoy PBS programming and listening to the KUAC radio station. Our kids enjoy the educational programming that they provide.”
