SNUBBING TUGFEST
The U.S. Sun reported that the TV star snubbed his hometown Iowa, and their annual festival, Tugfest,
Despite promoting the event on social media, the 59-year-old star skipped out on the festivities, which included a tug-of-war between Iowa and Illinois across the Mississippi River.
The antique expert posted ahead of the festival: “One of the coolest perks of setting up shop along the mighty Mississippi?
“Experiencing an event like no other – Tugfest!”
He continued: “Join us this weekend in LeClaire, IA, to soak in the small-town charm, witness the epic tug-of-war rivalry, and explore Antique Archaeology.
“It’s a once-a-year thrill that’s as unique as our treasures!”
The U.S. Sun also confirmed his store, Antique Archaeology, did not participate in the August 10 parade.
Although local businesses passed out candy and merchandise to the crowd, Mike’s store offered a free Antique Archaeology refrigerator magnet with a $59 purchase to celebrate Tugfest.
A source claimed Mike was in Tennessee, where he primarily resides, when the festival took place.
