Detroit: Buckeye Boating Party

Event description

Michigan only beats Ohio in its wonderful lakes. Enjoy the outdoors and Cass Lake with fellow Buckeyes, their families and friends. We’ll set up a volleyball net in the water. Kayaks and paddleboards will be available, and if we have wind, sailing will be available, too.

This event will be hosted by a wonderful alumnus and former Ohio State kicker, Tom Klaban. Tom is famous for beating Michigan with his foot only. He will be speaking about his book The Sidewinder and signing copies, with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to the Ohio State Alumni Club of Detroit.

The Sidewinder is the true story of the Klaban family’s ten-year plan to escape the oppression of communism from behind the Iron Curtain, only to find themselves in the grueling refugee camps of free Europe. Channeling an unwavering hope and hiding a double life, Oldrich guides his family through Cold War Europe to the land of his dreams: America.
