September 12th, Houghton Lake, MI. The Executive Committee for Tip-Up Town USA 2007 is pleased to announce the availability of the 2007 badge – and introduce the new TUT mascot, Tip! The badge is required for admission to the winter fun and events that happen annually on and around Houghton Lake. Dates for the 57th Tip-Up Town USA are 19-21st January and 26-28th January and the $5 price of the badge represents wonderful value for the wide range of fun and games on offer each weekend.
Dave DenBoer, President of the Houghton Lake Chamber of Commerce and member of the Executive Committee tells us more about Tip: “Last year we ran a drawing contest asking local and visiting children to draw designs for the 2007 badge. The winning entry was done by a visitor to TUT named Emily Sanders, then aged 9 and featured a cute character we have now named our mascot Tip. “ Local artist, Mary Conklin, created the final badge design based on Emily’s drawing and Tip became a reality! Emily and her family will join us again this year at both the Kick-Off event planned for January 6th and the festival itself. Tip will be featured in a number of activities during Tip-Up Town in 2007 and beyond.
PJ Steeby goes on to explain: “Our focus in 2006 was ‘Fun for Kids of All Ages’ and we are continuing to build on this in a number of ways in 2007. Our theme this year is ‘Cartoons’ and we are introducing some changes based on what we heard from locals and visitors alike last year.”
Some of the changes to look out for in 2007 include: [ul] [li]Vintage snowmobile racing on Saturday and Sunday the first weekend [li]Motorcycle ice racing on Saturday and Sunday the second weekend [li]Tip-Up Town will stay open on Saturdays until the firework display takes place [li]The Carnival and Prize Wheel are both being re-introduced, due to popular demand [li]Renew your wedding vows at the TUT Wedding Chapel [li]Plus lots of other favorites including the Polar Bear Dip, Family Fun Tent and Ice Carving.[/li][/ul]
The badge will be available for sale from the Houghton Lake Chamber of Commerce and local businesses and on-line at www.houghtonlakemichigan.net.
