MEMBER KIMBROUGH: I’d like to ducktail about that summer program as well. They did some lots in Ward 2 and they did some awesome work there. And I just want to just thank everybody that… for the whole Centennial Plaza Friday night events and all that the Hall of Fame has had. It was very successful and I thought it was a beautiful weekend, and all I could hear from guests coming were how much they enjoyed our city. So I just want to give a shout out to all those that helped and all those that attended for that event, all the Hall of Fame events. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMUCKLER: Perfect lead-in for this evening. There was a Member of Council that, when I first came here, his name was Member Peel Coleman, who used to say what an ad for Canton, Ohio Hall of Fame was worth on national TV. I’ve never seen so many advertisements. Before the football game on the Fox game… pregame show, Canton had to be mentioned at least… at least twenty times, and what a great city we had and how Fox was treated while they were here. And for those of you that were watching, these are also some of the same people that participate in the other programs on TV. And uh… Michael Strahan, I mean this is big time, big deal stuff for all of us in this city and how we promote it. And Centennial Plaza, a huge hit this weekend. And over and over and over again. I attended with Member Smith, Member Scaglione and Member Kimbrough the party that was thrown at the private residence, non-ticket item, and I want to get that clear, non- ticket item, at Michael Crawford’s house. Um, and the great things that were said about Canton, Ohio by the out-of-towners. And the parade. We’ve got a lot to be proud of in this community, and everybody did their part this last week, everybody. And congratulations, Mr. Mayor, I’ve never seen a better Hall of Fame than this one. It was fantastic. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 109 JOURNAL PAGE 325 MINUTES OF THE MEETING AUGUST 9, 2021 MEMBER SMITH: I would like to add to that, not only was… uh, it was on national, you know, we was on national TV also, all of us, when we pulled the… uh, what were they? The (inaudible) down. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMUCKLER: Yes, yes. MEMBER SMITH: Yeah, u-huh. Cause I had someone to call me from out of state, and they said oh, we say you all on TV again. So that was nice too. I mean, the whole weekend was just nice, and as soon we get out of here, I’d like to top it off and get to the concert. (Laughter) PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMUCKLER: Since we’re holding Member Smith up, is there any other Miscellaneous Business? Member Hall, you’re holding her up. MEMBER HALL: Just… and I’m gonna do it fast. Just one more cause some of things I heard Friday night was there are a lot of people that, you know, we took a lot of backlash about Centennial Plaza. But Friday night, I didn’t hear none of them. What I heard was, I can’t believe this is in Canton. You know, I… I’d say we all should take a pat on the back that we fought to keep it going even with the backlash, and we get to see the results of it. PRESIDENT PRO TEM SMUCKLER: Amen. Councilman Dougherty. You got any quotes? CLERK DOUGHERTY: Yeah, I got one for you.
