I have quickly learned that everywhere I go, people across the United States and even in other countries immediately associate Canton, Ohio, with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This is one of the many things that make our community so unique. Those who have had the privilege of attending any of the 15 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival events produced over a two-week period really know how special our community is. The Enshrinement Festival is our guaranteed time in the national spotlight and is possible largely due to the 4,200 volunteers who have a passion for producing fun, our 180 private and corporate sponsors, and our partnerships with many community organizations. You will find the Enshrinement Festival has something for all, and remarkably, half of the events are free to the general public.

As General Chairman of the Chamber commitiees, I invite you to immerse yourself in the fun and excitement as we celebrate the Enshrinees and their extraordinary accomplishments in professional football. You will quickly find out that “It’s a One of a Kind Celebration!”
