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:

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