I co-manage a community blog at www.lakewenatcheeinfo.com.  Helping build a hyper-local community site has been a great learning exercise.  Last year Lake Wenatchee froze for the first time in 12 years, which provided lots of entertainment and some angst for dock owners with pilings.  We had a local email list which we used to run an ice break contest:

Ice + Flag + Webcam + Email = $ for local charities. 

The lake has refrozen this year, so we are running the contest again, with the added benefit of having a website where participants can track both the state of the ice, current entrants and the all the lake news that is fit to publish.
