The dates have been set: Arctic Cat’s 50th Anniversary Celebration will take place July 29-31, 2011, in Thief River Falls, Minn.
This will undoubtedly be the largest homecoming in Arctic Cat history, with a party, displays, factory tours, entertainment, demos and unimaginable ArcticInsider-decal-placement opportunities.
Most importantly, the 50th will be about connecting with Cat people…ALL of the riders, racers, employees and fans who have made this company (and sport) what it is today.
Full details of the 50th Celebration will be unveiled in the coming weeks. For now, mark your calendars (and make reservations).
A commemorative 50th anniversary edition Arctic Insider decal???

Will there be a vintage show?
Uffdah, wish I was going back to the states this summer. 🙁
Thanks for the heads up John. Hotel reservation made, and the countdown begins.
Hotel booked can’t wait.
Will there be a show and shine competition for current machines? Or just vintage….
I got a room reserved too….this is gonna be fun! I want to attend this one in case I am not around for the centennial celebration.
My room is booked….
I’m pretty sure I’ll make this one….Ha!
Room is reserved. Better call up there now as it sounds like they’re filling up fast. Can’t wait ! Oh no am I wishing summer away ?
Recomendations for hotels in town please, good and or bad
Will be up there,cant wait to see the new 600DI.
I’ve been waiting for this event since I attended “Cat Fest” in 1993! My room is booked. This should be good!
Bob: Try C’mon Inn, Best Western, 7 Clans Casino and Motel, and/or AmericInn.
Please keep me posted sounds like fun.
John, of the hotels you recommended above, can I walk to the factory from them? If not, are there any?
Best Western is across the road from the factory. The others are across town (about 1 mile from the plant).
Any campgrounds close by???
Mike
There is a city campground across from the plant. Can’t make reservations as it is on a first come, first serve basis. There is also the fair grounds camping area which has full hook ups. Again, first come, first serve. The activities will be at the fair grounds so this should be your first choice.
Hi John,
Going to make reservations this weekend with my wife, as it’s right after our anniversary, and I can’t think of a better way to spend it. Will there be events all three days, or just Friday and Saturday?
See you then!

I was just wondering if the vintage show is inside or outside? The way it looks right now I am bringing three sleds. Also I will be there for shure.
Thanks, Preston
If the Motels are booked in Thief River Falls, you might want to try the Sevens Clan Casino. Its only about 7 miles south of TRF on hwy 59. They have a great water park for the kids to.
If you are bringing antigue snowmobiles do you have to preregister them? Are you limited to the nbr you can bring?
🙁 Whish I could have attended such an event. I heard rumours of the 50th celebration. Yet my father passed on the fifteenth of july so it was a no go. Glad to also read it was such a hit! Hope evryone attended had an awesome time. 🙂
