GM Plans Open House In Defiance

Gen­eral Motors Defi­ance Cast­ing Oper­a­tions is hold­ing an open house, and if you go, you will get a chance to view new GM vehi­cles in addi­tion to the fac­tory where they are built. A vehi­cle show­case and open house will be held from 3–6 p.m. May 14 at the plant in Defi­ance. It’s all spon­sored by GM Defi­ance Cast­ing Oper­a­tions and UAW Local 211. A sim­i­lar event held last year drew a crowd of close to 1,000 peo­ple. GM says the event allows them to show­case prod­ucts, and is a com­mu­nity out­reach effort. It’s free, but you do need to pre-register for the tour, which is open to any­one 13 or older. In addi­tion to the tours and vehi­cle show­case, there will be a vet­er­ans’ dis­play at the event to honor those in the mil­i­tary, along with rides and dri­ves of vehi­cles and edu­ca­tional activ­i­ties. Most of the activ­i­ties will be out­side. Light refresh­ments will be avail­able, and GM retirees are invited to come back and bring their families.
