The Fergus Falls Chamber of Commerce Sports Hall of Fame will welcome six new members at 2:00pm Saturday at VFW Post 612 in Fergus Falls.

The social begins at 1:30 and the induction ceremony follows at 2:00pm.  It is very informal and the public is welcome to attend.  No admission will be charged.

Fergus Falls High school graduates Cindy (Harthun) Waasdorp (1975), Linda (Knutson) Brophy (1986), Jon Kretchman (1990), Eric Loeffler (1995) and Justin Arneson (2000) will be joined by Hillcrest Lutheran Academy grad Scott Colbeck (1987), bringing to 90 the number of Hall-of-Famers.

The inaugural ceremony took place in 1986 and featured 24 inductees. 

A permanent display is in place at the front entrance to Kennedy Secondary School.  Visitors can sign in at the main office and see the display during regular school hours.  The display can also be seen when the school is open for various evening occasions.

Honorees include not only Fergus Fall High School graduates and coaches.  Other inductees include Hillcrest Lutheran Academy and M State athletes and coaches, members of the Fergus Falls Red Sox town baseball team, trap shooters, snowmobilers, boxing club coaches, barefoot water ski participants, members of the sports media, outstanding Otter fans and others.
