*****This year we have added The Eagles in White Cloud and we are aware that they are located on an "M" road and you will need to utilize M37 to get to their parking lot. This is allowed as long as you follow the direction of traffic, crossing M37 to get to your proper lane, and you travel the shortest distance possible to achieve this. Our planned route is to take 2 Mile or Monroe St to Walnut Ave, south to 1 Mile Rd, to M37 and travel the 0.4 miles to and from The Eagles parking lot. The route from m20 to and from Eagles will be flagged off to help with navigation.
