In the vibrant town of Ludington, where the love for basketball knows no bounds, a remarkable chapter in the Gus Macker saga was about to unfold. Dr. Andrew Riemer, the visionary behind Riemer Eye Center and Stix Bar, joined forces with the charismatic Chris Nicholas, the owner of 102.7 WMOM and 99.9 WHCH Radio, on a mission that would redefine Ludington's basketball legacy.

Their shared passion ignited a spark that would aim to make the Ludington Gus Macker not just an event, but a grand spectacle – the largest and most thrilling Macker tournament. With an unwavering commitment to community, they sought the blessing of the Ludington City Council to take the helm.

As the torchbearers for Ludington's beloved tournament, Dr. Riemer and Chris Nicholas envisioned a revival that would surpass all expectations. With the council's approval, they embarked on a journey to orchestrate an event that would capture the hearts and minds of not just Ludington but enthusiasts from far and wide.

June 15th-16th, 2024, along the beach of Lake Michigan in Stearns Park, Ludington will resonate with the cheers of teams and the vibrant energy of a game that has become a tradition and a testament to the enduring spirit of the community. The anticipation is palpable as Ludington will come alive with the heartbeat of a community united by the love of basketball.
