Third-Annual Meet The Spartans Scheduled For Aug. 20
Aug. 14, 2005 EAST LANSING, Mich. - Children 12 and under are invited to attend the third-annual "Meet The Spartans" on Saturday, Aug. 20 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Meridian Mall in Okemos, Mich. Michigan State head coach John L. Smith and members of the 2005 football team will be available for autographs and pictures in the Center Court area of the mall. Last year, more than 5,000 fans attended the event at Meridian Mall. Due to time constraints, fans are limited to one autograph per player/coach. Requests for multiple autographs from the same player/coach are strictly prohibited. The MSU dance team and cheerleaders will help distribute free schedule posters. During the autograph session, children - ages 6-10 - can sign up for an opportunity to become a Kickoff Kid at a 2005 Spartan home football game. Two children are selected for each home game to join the Michigan State team on the sidelines. After each Spartan kickoff, one child will run on to the field and retrieve the kicking tee. Winners, determined by random drawings, receive two tickets to the game and a Spartan football jersey. The Michigan Education Savings Program sponsors the Kickoff Kid program for the fifth-straight year.
