Ferris State University’s Residence Hall Association is sponsoring its annual Sibs
and Kids Weekend, “Push Start to Play,” beginning Friday, Feb. 27 with check-in from
4 to 7 p.m. at The Rock Café and concluding on Sunday, March 1.
The cost of registration per child or sibling is $35. The registration cost includes a T-shirt, a pair of hockey tickets for the Ferris student and their guest, meals at The Rock Café and weekend festivities. Participants that register by noon on Friday, Feb. 13 will be guaranteed a T-shirt or hockey tickets.
“The purpose of this event is to provide some really fun activities for younger siblings and friends as they visit their older Ferris students and see what campus is like,” said Marci Chou, Miller/Ward Hall director. “We try to cater to a much younger crowd through some of our older siblings, mostly ages 6 to 15.”
Activities throughout the weekend include, but are not limited to: A hockey game against Bemidji State University, inflatables, video games, prizes, giveaways, fun with mascot Brutus, and movies.
