This coming weekend is the Higgin Lake-Roscommon Winterfest Feb 12 & 13, 2016. And the cold winter weather will be returning just in time as temperatures on Saturday are forecast to be in the single digits. But that remains to be substantiated. The way this winter has gone so far any predictions of cold weather has been inaccurate at best. The wind so far has come mostly from the south if it swings around and comes from the north we could get a gift from Canada. A gift of frigid air.
Colder air would be better for the Crazy Cardboard Classic at Pioneer Hill on Saturday starting at 10 AM. It's a fun time where groups compete with sleds made of cardboard, duct tape and paint. Judged by style and usability (can it make it down the hill). The crazy designs are what make this so fun.
The fishing contest is on Saturday from 11-3 at the North State Park. Some of the anglers on Higgins Lake have been pulling some monster pike and lake trout out of the lake this year,
There is also a Snowmobile Radar Run, Broomball competition, Polar dip to benefit Special Olympics, Chili Cookoff and much more. Badges are just $5.
Due to the warm temperatures this winter some of the events that take place on the lake may be cancelled. Better safe than sorry as we have already had on pick up truck go through the ice at Tip Up Town a couple of weeks ago. No one was hurt.

Until tomorrow,
