The Michigan Warriors are proud to once again, for the 5th year, partner with Bentley Florist in hosting the 20th Annual Good Neighbor Day.

Residents of Genesee County will have a unique opportunity on Wednesday, September 3, 2014 to meet each other and foster new relationships with neighbors during Good Neighbor Day. This special event will be hosted by Bentley Florist, located at 1270 South Belsay Road in Burton, starting at 9 AM.

Additionally, each participant will receive a free ticket to a Michigan Warriors opening weekend game.
