Blake Wrigley was the $2,000 grand prize winner for the 2021 EZ Wheels Truck Drop contest sponsored by the EZ Wheels Shrine Club. The contest consisted of picking a day and time for a truck to drop through the ice at Little Britches Fishing Pond near Jamestown Reservoir.
Wrigley guessed the truck would drop on March 20 as did 52 other people but his guess that it would drop at 7:13 p.m. was the closest time without going over. The truck went through the ice at 7:31 p.m. on March 20. It was removed after it went through the ice.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Stutsman County Park Board discussed a request from the EZ Wheels Shrine Club to sink a vehicle on the Little Britches Pond.
Shrine member Jon Lindberg says the club has been looking at different fundraisers that also account for COVID-19 social distancing.
Lindberg says they’ll sink a 1942 farm truck after stripping it down completely and draining out all of its fluids before sinking it.
He added they’ll outfit it with advertising signs and more, attaching lines to it so they can safely remove it from the pond.
The club would look at sinking the pickup on the Little Britches Pond later this winter.
