The Frankfort Hot Dog Alumni Hall of Fame inducted five new members to the Hall on Saturday of the Hot Dog Festival Weekend. Heather Boots Hayes, Dr. Hilary Hinshaw, Kip Scheidler and James Seigfried accepted their Hall of Fame plaques while James Dorsam was honored posthumously. The Hall of Fame Board of Directors hosted a luncheon for the newest members of the Hall at the Community Schools Administrative Office prior to the induction ceremony. Mayor Sheets welcomed the inductees back to the high school and Superintendent Rhoda encouraged citizens to nominate deserving alumni on the Frankfort Education Foundation website. Frankfort Principal Jennifer Flynn spoke on the accomplishments of Hot Dogs past as an encouragement for the students of today. A highlight of the ceremony was when the entire volleyball team from IU Kokomo showed up to surprise their coach, Heather Hayes.
On Friday, the weather encouraged a strong turn-out for the 6th Annual Hot Dog Alumni Hall of Fame Golf Scramble at Frankfort Commons. Over a hundred Hot Dog alumni turned up to enjoy the day in support of the Hall of Fame. Taking home the award for top scores were the foursome of (Men’s Division: Tony Roth, Mark Roth, Klay Koehler, and Cooper Tarter; and Women’s Division: Jan Kearsey, Sally Myers, Mary Beth Unger, and Suzy Ransom).
The Hall of Fame strongly encourages nominations of deserving alumni. You may find a nomination form at the Frankfort Education Foundation website under Hall of Fame and be sure to see the Hall of Fame Wall the next time you visit the high school. The Hall of Fame is looking forward to a very special golf event and induction ceremony for the 10th annual event next year.
