The Tour will move to Grand Rapids for a lunchtime event and then head up to Traverse City for an after-school rally where the Tour will be joined by Automotion, Hooper and the Palace Patrol. The Tour will stay overnight at the Grand Traverse Resort and resume Thursday morning with a stop in Midland at Midland Dow High School. Headed south, the Tour will stop in Flint for an afternoon visit and then head down to Toledo.
