The Houghton Lake Chamber of Commerce Director Jay Jacobs announced that Grand Marshal for 2022 will be Tammy Thompson of Houghton Lake.
The only Mayor and Marshall candidates who have stepped up so far are Mayor “Tip-Up Tony” and “Jigging Jason,” representing the Old School Party. But the community is asking: “Where are the Poor People and The Goldfish Party Candidates””
Jacobs also said that Jerry Timmons of the Houghton Lake VFW has been named the Hometown Hero for 2022.
There are currently four candidates who have applied to be Tip Up Town queen, each vying for a $1,000 prize for their favorite charity. Jacobs said candidates will be announced next week.
