Park is holding a raffle to win access for two to stand at the top of a
tower of the Mackinac Bridge, 552 feet above the water, for a bird’s-eye
view of the Straits of Mackinac.

THOMPSONVILLE – The Michigan Legacy Art Park is one of just 25 nonprofit organizations out of nearly 800 applicants to receive a certificate for a tower tour of the Mackinac Bridge – a tour it will
raffle off as part of a unique fundraising effort.

“We are excited to have been chosen this year,” said Art Park Executive Director Renee Hintz. “We decided to hold a raffle to give more thrill-seekers a chance to win – and at $10 per ticket, it’s worth a chance for such a rare experience.”

The winning ticket will give access for two people to stand at the top of a tower of the Mackinac Bridge, 552 feet above the water, for a bird’s-eye view of the Straits of Mackinac. The hour-and-a-half tour includes an elevator ride up the interior of the tower. When the elevator reaches its highest point, there is a 40-foot
ladder that leads to the top of the tower for a breathtaking experience.
