Did you know that the Ashland County Sports Hall of Fame was incorporated in July of 1984?
On July 12, 1984, the Hall of Fame organization signed their incorporation papers. As other volunteers came on board, the plans and dates were set for the nominations, the HOF parade, and the first induction on October 20th at the AC Convocation Center.
The standards and patterns established by the original leadership of the Ashland County HOF have proven to stand the test of time. Their original decision to select ten inductees has only been revised once by adding the Great Teams and the Trustees in 1998. Clearly the most discussed issue for the selection committee, who has the tedious task of narrowing the field to ten, is, “Why isn’t so-and-so in the Hall of Fame?” Even the first class faced that question the day after the first induction, and the answer usually has been, “They haven’t been nominated by anyone!”
Be sure to nominate your favorite Ashland County athlete for this year's induction! You can go to our website, www.ashlandcosportshof.org, to find nomination forms and additional information about the Sports Hall of Fame. Nominations must be received by October 31, 2023.
