NWHOF Minnesota Chapter Promotes 2024 Ceremony at Social in Bemidji

Our State Chapter has been promoting dual meets to gain support and attendance for our annual NWHOF-MN Banquet Celebration date of April 27, 2024, at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Austin, Minn. Online registration coming soon!

On December 7, 2023, at Fozzie's Bar BQ in Bemidji, Minn, where we introduced and honored Bemidji's favorite son Howie Schultz to a crowd of 80 people! We all attended the triangular dual meet where Bemidji High School coach Rance Bahr introduced Howie and Roseau's Jeff "Bro" Olsen who is better than Saturday Night Live!

They were brought to the center of the mat, along with seven other individuals that have earned previous Lifetime Service to Wrestling and Medal of Courage honors. They received a tremendous standing ovation.

Our Mission: To honor the sport of wrestling by preserving its history, recognizing extraordinary individual achievements, and inspiring future generations
