Participants will receive a commemorative \u201c1st Annual Mike McIntosh Memorial Cruise\u201d dash plaque.<\/p>\n<p>Mike\u2019s son, Kevin, will lead the cruise\u00a0behind the wheel of a 1957 BMW Isetta that Mike owned but never restored to show quality. Kevin has since completed the restoration, and the little BMW will finally have its moment at the show. Before the cruise departs, a hot air lantern will be floated in Mike\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n<p>The cruise will depart around 7 p.m. and travel partway up Old Mission Peninsula. Along the way, the cars will pass through the Front Street Campus on College Drive. Students and employees are encouraged to grab a spot along the route on College Drive at the Front Street Campus and cheer on the cruisers as they make their way through campus and the community.<\/p>\n<p>The cruise will finish at NMC\u2019s Great Lakes Campus, the original home of NMC\u2019s automotive program and the place where Mike spent much of his career. Once the cars arrive,\u00a0Morganja Farms\u2019 food truck will be on hand with food and beverages, giving everyone a chance to gather, enjoy the vehicles and celebrate Mike\u2019s legacy together. The cruise will also support\u00a0Project Feed The Kids.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to participate in the cruise, please RSVP to Wayne Moody at (231) 995-1316 or <a href=\"mailto:wmoody@nmc.edu\">wmoody@nmc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NMC\u2019s Automotive Technology department is hosting the 1st Annual Mike McIntosh Memorial Cruise on Friday, Sept. 11, beginning at NMC&#8217;s Automotive Service Technology Building located at 2510 Aero Park Drive, Traverse City.
