GREEN BAY, Wis. - Ten finalists have been named in the search for the 26th member of the Packers FAN Hall of Fame – and two of them are from the FOX6 viewing area.
The Green Bay Packers were the first professional football team to have a hall of fame – something that started in 1998. A news release says it was founded for the purpose of annually honoring a devout and longtime Packers fan.
Packers fans were asked to nominate themselves or a friend for the honor with an essay of 500 words or less, accompanied by a photo, explaining why he or she should be recognized. From those nominations, 10 finalists were selected by the Packers FAN Hall of Fame selection committee.
