Week 1

Welcome to the Finch Factory!

Hello dedicated Macker fans, my name is Jessica Swanson, and you can think of me as your online guide through the process of planning a Gus Macker 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament, Central style!

Every year Central Michigan University has the unique privilege of putting on a Gus Macker Basketball Festival. The responsibility of planning this event falls on the shoulders of one college class guided by two amazing professors, Tim Otteman and Brittany Milan, within the hallowed halls of Finch Fieldhouse. This course was created to give students an incredible hands on experience with event planning, and it has become a golden ticket opportunity in the college careers of recreation students.

Throughout these next four months you can expect to hear about several incredible people whom we could not put on this festival without, upcoming dates, and ways you can participate in the fun alongside us. I will also be including the life lessons my peers and I learn as a way to document our personal journey as a class. 

It is my most sincere hope that all of you reading this blog feel the excitement and energy we feel as we prepare for the best classroom experience of our lives and the best Gus Macker Basketball Festival Central Michigan University has ever seen! If you would like to participate in the tournament beginning April 29th through the 30th, registration will be opening up soon. For now you can follow us on Facebook, Instragram, Twitter, and Snapchat as well as learn updates from our weekly blog.
