West Point Family Weekend Tailgate – October 27-29

Family Weekend for the West Point Parents Club of Michigan is almost here. On October 28, 2023, The Black Knights of West Point will host the Minutemen of UMass at Noon in Michie Stadium.  We will have our annual tailgate featuring both breakfast and an after-game BBQ for all our Michigan families, their cadets and friends.

My name is Patricia Eppler (Cadet Sam, Class of 2027)  I am a new member this year. My husband Jason and I are the new Family Weekend Tailgate Chairpersons.  As in the past, we continue to have opportunities for those wanting to sign up potluck style and bring their favorite tailgate fare. This year we’re also offering the opportunity to make a monetary contribution toward the cost of the tailgate, allowing you to leaving the hassle behind. 

Breakfast menu:
-breakfast sandwiches
-fruit
-sweet breads
-muffins
-yogurt

We’ll also have beverages and a splash of Baileys’ Irish Cream to sweeten your morning coffee and makings for Mimosas.  

The tailgate will feature a big screen television where we’ll broadcast all pregame activities.  If you don’t have game tickets, there will be plenty of fun at the tailgate space, and you may watch the game there.

After-game BBQ menu:
-hamburgers
-hot dogs  
-baked beans
-broccoli salad
-cheesy potatoes
-pasta salad.

Water, soft drinks, beer, and hard seltzers will also be available. 

Use Sign Up Genius to RSVP.  Please give us an idea of how many in your party will attend nreakfast and BBQ editions of the party for planning.

If you choose the cash contribution, the Club has suggested a minimum donation of $25.00 per family. Your donation is per family not per person.  Visit our secure payment portal to complete your donation.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 616-322-3652, or eppler55@charter.net

This is a great time to connect with your cadet and meet their friends.  Encourage them to bring friends along!

Let’s make this the BEST tailgate ever.  Looking forward to meeting you there!

Go Army, Beat UMass!
