Tap Talk – Hall of Fame

July 22 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Kent, OH – The Pro Football Hall of Fame is coming to North Water Street Brewery for Tap Talks on July 22.  

Former Kent State Golden Flashes athlete Antonio Gates will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 2, and representatives from the Hall will join a special edition of Tap Talks at North Water Street Brewery on Tuesday, July 22, to chat about the selection process of the Hall, the enshrinement preparation process, Enshrinement Day activities and the Hall’s Residency Program.  

Gates will join legendary Kent State football player and Mantua native Jack Lambert in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  

Golden Flashes fans will recall that Gates was a member of the Kent State basketball team that made a historic run, advancing to the Elite 8 in the 2002 NCAA Basketball Tournament.  

Gates is first modern-era Hall of Famer not to have played a single down of college football.   

Chief Communications & Content Officer Rich Desroisiers will be joined by Jon Kendle, Vice President of Museum and Archives, in a panel discussion during the event. Former Kent State Athletic Director Laing Kennedy will join the conversation.  

Come and enjoy the chat; it’s more than just a football talk. It’s a story of commitment, perseverance and character.  

Tap Talks was initiated by Don Schjeldahl, the creator of North Water Brewing, as a way to bring the community together for conversation about life in Kent, Kent’s history, and issues of the day that impact us all. It’s also a chance to enjoy an array of locally-brewed artisan ales and beers. Tap Talks are sponsored by Kent Historical Society and scheduled monthly at 7 pm at North Water Brewing, 101 Crain Avenue in Kent.  

Those who attend will have an opportunity to meet the members of the panel and learn more about the August 2 enshrinement of Golden Flash Antonio Gates.
