This year will mark the first time in the Greater Pueblo Sports Association’s history that the Hall of Fame banquet will not be held.
The event was set to take place Nov. 18, but with the COVID-19 restrictions in place, Tony Hegler, the GPSA president, said with the number of people that attend the annual event and the safety concerns forced the banquet to be canceled.
“We get about 300 people at a banquet,” Hegler said. “It was impossible to have a banquet and spread people out six feet away from one another with 300 people. But we will have one this next year if everything is OK.”
The members of GPSA generally meet the third Monday of each month, but Hegler said the members haven’t met since March, which has prevented members from choosing the year’s inductees from the 10 nominations received.
“That’s when they put the stop on the college and we couldn’t get into our meeting room,” Hegler said. “We received all of the applications for 2020 and they are all ready to be looked at, but we have not had a meeting.”
Hegler said the members will not resume meetings until January or February.
Despite the cancellation, Hegler said there will be inductees for the 2020 year, but that it will most likely be a double initiation for the 2020-2021 nominees.
Hegler noted that the nominations for the 2021 banquet are due by Aug. 1, 2021.
