Winter Carnival

Winter Carnival is a long standing Michigan Tech tradition that takes place the first week in February. Carnival is a 4 day event starting Wednesday night with the all nighter where people can finish up their month long statues or compete in the one night statue build. Pictured above and below is our month long statue the club built in 2005. There is also different organizations selling food and beverages on campus all night with dozens of activies taking place till the early morning hours.

The rest of the days of Carnival are filled with different competitions including broomball, ice fishing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, tug-o-war, human dogsled, and curling just to name a few. The club competes in the Student Organizations bracket of the games and has historically placed most years.

Pictured below are pictures from one of our human dogsled competitions, and yes that is an old chevy hood we use for our dogsled and towstraps to pull it.

This is our crew for the ice fishing tournament on Portage Lake.

It has been a bit of a joke and tradition for our statues over the years, whether they be month long or just one nighters to have a snow toilet included somewhere.
