The Marquette Regional History Center presents the Special Exhibit:50 YEARS OF GUTS FRISBEE IN MARQUETTE MAY 13 - SEPTEMBER 7 In 1974 a Guts Frisbee tournament came to Marquette’s Cliffs Ridge ski hill. Thousands of paying spectators lined the playing fields. Guts Frisbee had its beginnings in the Keweenaw Peninsula in the late 1950s when the Healy brothers played at a family picnic. They then started an annual tournament, the International Frisbee Tournament. Soon folks from Marquette were driving up to play or watch and forming teams like the Queen City Flyers. This sport has spread around the world and is now part of the World Flying Disc Federation. Marquette players have competed as far away as Japan. Celebrate the origins, the rich personalities, and the camaraderie in this U.P. Sport. For more information visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.
