I hope they are able to come and enjoy this really cool and unique moment,” said Miller.
The Meijer State Games of Michigan is celebrating its ten year anniversary this summer. The last ten years has brought many successes along the lines of: the addition of the Winter Games; hosting the State Games of America; and contributing to the economic growth of West Michigan by generating more than $28 million in visitor spending over ten years.
Ten years ago, the Meijer State Games of Michigan were announced, and planning began for the first Summer Games. Typically for a State Games to become a full member, they have three years to get ten sports running. Michiganders however were supportive right away of the Meijer State Games and it didn’t take long for 15 sports to be a part of the inaugural Summer Games.
