Tip Up Town USA 2016 Is Coming

Day 43

Tip Up Town USA 2016

Tip Up Town USA is coming January 22-24, January 29-31 and it's good it will be so late in January because as of today (December 21) there is still no ice on the lake and it has been raining all day. No snow. But fear not readers. This has happened before, some years back. The last time an el nino tropical storm happened in the Pacific. I believe it's the Pacific. Well, anyway.

If you have never been to our little winter festival you have been missing out on a winter good time. Happening the last two weekends in January, when the cold is in it's prime and the temperature is normally in the single digits. We like to step outside and play. Which includes ice fishing and snowmobiling.

Tip Up Town is a celebration of more. At Tip Up Town you can slide down an ice slide, try turkey bowling, and enter a best beard contest. There will be games, magicians, pie eating contests and entertainment in the heated family tent. For those who prefer a little something stronger there's the adult only beer tent, also heated (not the beer). And live entertainment.

Of course, we have an ice fishing contest complete with rules that you can find here ice fishing contest rules.

There's also a Shanty Decorating contest, The crazy part is it doesn't have to be an actual shanty. Click here for rules Shanty Decorating Contest.

The 2016 Tip Up Town Fun Run will be held on January 23, 2016 at 9:45 AM at the Tip Up Town site. There is a $20 fee. For more info and application Fun Run 2016.

More to come.

Until tomorrow,
