Basically, it’s just a reason to get together and drink out in the cold… Ah, the UP!
State Police Will Be Watching Outhouse Classic
It's one of those unique events of the Upper Peninsula's cold, snowy winter: the Outhouse Classic races in Trenary. Nearly 20 teams are registered for the competition on Saturday.
It attracts up to 4000 people every year, and many of them drink. State Police say they'll be cracking down this year.
"We've had some complaints in the past that there have been quite a few minors drinking, underage drinking," explains Trooper Jeff Seaberg of the Michigan State Police. "We just want to take a pro-active stance on it."
Officials remind spectators and participants that there is a zero tolerance policy. That means its illegal for anyone under 21 to buy, possess, consume or transport alcohol.
