NY Downstate Chapter Completes 2015 Season with its Largest Dinner to Date



Following a 650 guest dinner in 2014, the 2015 dinner hosted 730 guests. TV actor and wrestler, Steve Buscemi was a celebrity guest and was well received by all.


A great deal of fun was had when a video of a tied match between Steve & Jack Fiorvanti was shown. A rematch was immediately discussed!



Following that challenge, National Wrestling Coach of the Year, Tom Ryan of Ohio State took the podium and shared a number of wrestling and personal events to his hometown crowd. He then presented the 2015 Inductees with their plaque and jackets. At the conclusion of the dinner, Ryan was presented with a custom made Ohio State Varsity Wrestling Jacket. A great time was had by all.
