we’re celebrating the past and future of chiropractic in Michigan.
Our exhibitor game will include some great 70’s trivia questions,
guaranteed to be fun for all... All you have to do is visit the
participating exhibitors - it’s that easy! We’ll draw six CA$H
winners from those who guess the answers correctly! So, brush up
on your 70’s trivia, and good luck!
