Bobber Bocce on Ice_4920.JPG — It was a fun day on the Sibley Lake ice in Pequot Lakes for the second annual Bobber Bocce on Ice event, sponsored by the Pequot Lakes Chamber.

The second annual Bobber Bocce on Ice event was held Saturday, Feb. 11, on Sibley Lake in Pequot Lakes under a bright blue, sunny sky with the temperature at a balmy 40 degrees.

That compares to the inaugural event in 2022, when the temperature hovered around 15 degrees below zero. That makes for a 55-degree temperature difference.

DJ music blared on the Sibley Lake ice as 25 four-person, coed teams competed in the Pequot Lakes Chamber event that's half bocce ball and half curling.
