The Graubner Library is proud to present the professional Frisbee team the Flying Aces! The Flying Aces have performed and entertained audiences all across Michigan in every venue imaginable, and entertain audiences of all ages. The Flying Aces got their beginning at Eastern Michigan University in 1973 when Brian Hayes took his love for frisbee tossing indoors when winter came to Michigan.
In the early days, the Flying Aces did free basketball half-time shows for the Michigan State Spartans and the University of Detroit Titans as well as the Detroit Pistons and University of Michigan teams. Now, more than 30 years later, the Flying Aces continue to perform for audiences around the world with shows in all 50 states as well as other countries including Canada, Puerto Rico and Saudi Arabia. The Flying Aces have appeared on numerous local and national TV Spots as well as newspaper articles across the country.

Hear the story of the most important day in American history…April 19th, 1775, the first day of the American Revolutionary War. We’ll be talking about the events and the people whose decisions and actions shaped and still define us as a nation 238 years later.
We will be answering the following questions:
1. When and where was the American Revolution fought and won?
2. When and where did the Revolutionary War actually start?
3. What caused the professional British Army to break and run after a two minute encounter with colonial farmers and shopkeepers?
4. Who fired the first shots of the Revolutionary War?
5. What’s the difference between history and heritage?
Go back in time to when ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ was more than just a saying. We look forward to seeing you there!
