Hey has Hillsdale had it's annual tip up festivals yet? I was born and raised in Hillsdale. I'm in Tennessee now and I'm a wimp when it comes to cold weather now but have been reminiscing about ice skating when I was a kid, I remember ice skating from one end of baw beese lake to the other end and back and the next day really feeling it. This was probably back in the mid 70's. I won't dare ice skate now.
RB,
I’m not sure about tip up around Hillsdale (just know the colleges great reputation), but Jan is the time of year.
I use to ice skate at the tip up festival in Clear Lake MI. I grew up in the 70s as well (4-14).
Lucky you. It was 14 today w/windchill 6.
When I got to my car across the company parking lot my bare hands were begining to stall.
