Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank hosted the 15th annual Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Sept. 13 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. Hall of Famers Isaac Bruce, Steve Largent and Randall McDaniel attended and shared stories from their time playing during a panel discussion moderated by Dan Flowers, president and CEO of the foodbank. Guests enjoyed food and drink from spots like Canton Brewing Co. and Gervasi Vineyard, and they had the chance to bid on live and silent auction items like a ride in the Goodyear blimp. The nearly 400 guests helped raise more than $214,000, which is the equivalent of giving about 800,000 meals to local residents facing food insecurity.
