West Mich Kick off attendees PLEASE READ

[Ken Platteschor]

The West Michigan area and Grand Rapids mournes the passing of former President Gerald R. Ford. Grand Rapids was the hometown of the former President and current location of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.

Until the schedule of events is posted tomorrow we are not sure how this will affect the Kick off. Gerald R Ford will lie in state at the Presidential museum in Grand Rapids after lying in state in Washington DC. Not sure when the burial will be but it will be at the Presidential museum. The museum is only a block away from the kick-off location so traffic an security may or will be tight.

I will post more information on the West Michigan regional website, www.westmichiganregional.com on the kick off page as well here as it becomes available. If you are attending the kick-off in Grand Rapids please keep this in mind.

The schedule is out and it looks like everything will wrap up on Wednesday afternoon. With that said you can plan on there still being other related activities going on thru the weekend. This will mean the possibility of limited parking on that Saturday. The museum is only a block away from the kick-off location so traffic an security may still be tight.
