The entire day was really well organized and fun. Kris was a referee, and I was happy to once again be the emcee!
First, former Detroit Lion Herman Moore spoke to the kids about exercise and eating a healthy diet that includes dairy. Next. Rodney Lamar Page gave a motivational speech where he played violin, played an electric violin, rapped, and did beat boxing. (He is a former St Johns music teacher, too!)
Detroit Lion Tahir Whitehead played a nutrition trivia game with the kids. Then the kids went down to the tunnel, got announced, and ran onto the field! They did an hour of football drills with Detroit Lions players and coaches, including Eric Ebron and Miles Killebrew. It was great fun watching them.
We ate a dairy-filled lunch, the student ambassadors talked, we had a super energetic speaker Kim Campbell (very good) and then we all headed back down to the field to have a press conference with player Ameer Abdullah, dance, take pictures, and play more football!
The pro-dairy, pro-health, pro-exercise messaging was great, the people were fun, and I was so glad to be a part of it again. Thanks to Mr. Matulis, Ms. Foreback, and Mrs. Potter from Eureka for bringing the kids, and to United Dairy Industry of Michigan for putting it on!
Mr. Matulis took some nice shots of the kids on the field. Here are a few:
