Countdown to the melt-down underway

NEGAUNEE, Mich. (WZMQ) – If you’ve traveled past teal lake in the past few days, you’ve probably noticed a familiar site sitting on the ice. 

The annual Teal Lake fundraiser to benefit the Negaunee Lions Club and the Greater Ishpeming Negaunee Chamber of Commerce (GINCC) is once again under way, and the replica mine shaft was just recently put in position on the ice. 

Participants pay 5 dollars per guess the exact day and time the structure will fall through the ice, and the winner will get 50% of all the money raised. 

Bob Hendrickson GINCC Executive Director said, “It’s one of those things people look forward to each year. It’s a sign of spring, when the ice finally melts off of Teal Lake. It’s just like yeah, we are done with winter, might be a little more after that, but usually that’s a good sign that we are turning the corner for the next season.” 

Tickets to guess are available from Negaunee Lions Club members or at the Greater Ishpeming Negaunee Chamber of Commerce office and have to be purchased at least 48 hours before the structure falls through the ice. 

To purchase your ticket online go to, 2023 Negaunee Lions Teal Lake Melt-Down (jotform.com).
