It’s that time of year in Canton, OH.  It’s Hall of Fame week here in Canton, meaning food, activities, parades, hot air balloons and more food.  this weekend is the official start of the festivities with a food festival and hot air balloons and then next week is the rib burnoff for three days.  Pat Benatar is playing thurs. night and the band Seven Mary Three are playing wed. night.  then next Sat. is the Grand Parade and then at 6pm. is the HOF enshrinement of the HOF members.  This all leads up to the first football game of the season, which this year is Pittsburgh vs. New Orleans.

If anyone is in earshot of Canton, OH, you should try to make to some of the festivities, it’s a good time.  If your not in driving distance don’t bother trying to find a hotel in town or probably even Akron because they have been booked up probably for a year.   I on the other hand live one block off of the parade route, so luck me.  Either we stay up all night partying and then walk out the route at 4 or 5am to stake out claim with all of the other crazies or like my wife and some of her family they sleep until I wake them up then they wander out to the spots that I already save at 7.55am, parade starts at 8am. whichever way it is a good time.
