Win The Golden Ticket!
/
Who does not want the Golden Ticket? The pass that allowed the winner to get into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. You may love the original 1971 movie with Gene Wilder portraying the Wonka character. Or you may prefer the 2005 remake with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Hollywood knows a good thing when they see it. In 2023 Timothee Chalamet will star in the prequel film titled Wonka.
The fictional character created by Roald Dahl in the 1964 novel is an eccentric founder and owner of the Wonka Chocolate Factory. They got me with the word chocolate! Naturally, merchandising opportunities happen with real-life treats such as Everlasting Gobstoppers and the Wonka Bar. Taking the wonderful taste of chocolate from the screen to me. Just remember this commercial Willy Wonka's Fine Candy - "Oompas and Super Skrunch" (Commercial, 1979)
When Charlie thinks of striking it rich, he does not play a raffle or the lottery. He buys a Wonka Bar with the dream of finding the last remaining Golden Ticket - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - Charlie Finds the Golden Ticket Scene (2/10) | Movieclips.
We all would like to find the last Golden Ticket. Sometimes we settle for the next best thing. The Rotary Club of Summit County is having its annual Lake Dillon Ice Melt Contest. Although you do not get to explore the wonders of the Willy Wonka candy factory and meet the Oompa Loompas, you do get to make good things happen. Things like Youth Leadership, Scholarships, Community Dinners, 365 Health Fair, Adopt an Angel, and many other projects to support the Summit County community.
Each year the Summit Rotary takes a giant drum with a clock attached out to the middle of Lake Dillon. When the ice breaks and the clock go underwater, it stops working. Obviously, the clock is not a Timex. You guess the exact time when the clock will drop in the window. This is not without reward for the sharp guesser!
First prize is $4,000 – cold hard cash
Second prize is $2000
Third place is $1,000
Who could not use $4,000? How many Wonka Bars can you buy for $4,000? To learn more about the Lake Dillon Ice Melt Contest, go to www.DillonIceMelt.com.
