Tipup Town
« on: Jan 08, 2007, 12:19 PM »
Anyone planing on going to TUT this year?  With the weather we are supposed to be having (crosses fingers) there might be too much ice for boats, but not enough for walking by the second weekend of TUT.

Don't see anyone catching Wally this year...   ;D

According to the local paper they are going ahead with it no matter what.

‘Full steam ahead’ for Tip-up Town; Festival a go - snow or no

We go every year...and we have run into quite a few Shanty members there. The kids love it and I have a great collection of the banks.

If you catch him you have a "chance" at $25,000.  You have to pick an envelope.  One of them is worth $25,000.  Good luck.

The temperature is dropping, the lake is freezing and Tip-Up Town USA is happening the last two weekends of January. Don't miss it! The theme this year is 'Cartoons' so watch out for some creative floats in the Parade and our new mascot 'Tip'. TUT is still great value at just $5 for the TUT Badge! Mark your calendars for January 19th-21st and 27th/28th.

Is there a better weekend to go? The first weekend or second? This year my only option is for the first weekend, but for future reference which is better?

does anyone actually fish at TUT or is it pretty much just a beer drinking event?

There's a great spot for pike right in front of TUT...but you have to fish it early before the sleds get going.

Same for me...nothing larger that two feet. But I get to fish while the kids play and it's close.
