Arctic Cat to
Celebrate Brand's 50th Anniversary
Thief River Falls, MN - Celebration
on July 29 - 30, 2011
Thief River Falls, MN (2/27/2011)
- Arctic Cat will celebrate the brand’s
50th Anniversary as thousands of loyal Arctic
Cat enthusiasts converge upon Thief River Falls,
Mn on July 29th and 30th. The celebration will
be open to the public and all events are free.
Arctic Cat’s 50th marks a major milestone
which began in 1961 when Edgar Hetteen founded
Polar Manufacturing in Thief River Falls. There
he began producing snowmobiles that reflected
his dreams. One year later he changed the company
name to Arctic Cat, and began a series of innovations
that transformed hulking snow “machines”
into small, playful snowmobiles.
Arctic Cat has two days of non-stop activities
planned with the central location sharing space
between the Pennington County Fairgrounds and
the Ralph Engelstad Arenas. Highlights will include
factory tours on Friday and Saturday, the world’s
largest Arctic Cat product display called “Years
of the Cat” which will be open to all Arctic
Cat – related products regardless of model
or year, an Arctic Cat-only swap meet, ATV and
UTV demo tracks, special 50th Anniversary clothing
and memorabilia will be sold, autograph sessions
with Team Arctic heroes, race truck displays and
several events for kids, plus music, food and
much more.
