QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – The Quincy Chain of Lakes Tip-Up Festival returns on Tip Up Island Saturday for its 60th edition after two years of cancellations.
The 2021 event had to be called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic and the effects of major storms in August of 2021 were still being felt last year when the Tip-Up Festival had to be called off for a second straight year.
Numerous large trees were knocked down on Tip Up Island because of the powerful storms which also damaged the pavilion.
This year’s event will be held even though there’s no ice.
Something new this year will be a wood cutter’s contest. Other events for the family friendly one day event include a craft show, fishing contests, kids games and a jeep jamboree.
The 40th Polar Bear Splash will take place at 12:00 noon with the Fisherman’s Ball set for 8:00 p.m..
Ken Fickle, Senior will serve as Tip Up Mayor this year while Kim Posande will be the Tip Up Sheriff.
