What Hall of Fame is in your state?

[sheila]

Or, if there are more than one, which is closest?
Which is the most intersting?
Which is the oddest?
Have you been to any?
Could there be more questions about Halls of Fame?

[Dennis]

We have the pro rodeo hall of fame and the figure skating hall of fame in Colorado. I've never been to either one. I have been to the baseball hall of fame and the hockey hall of fame.

The Cowboy Hall Of Fame is in Oklahoma City. It's a museum with western art, and displays that show the history of the cowboy, etc. Eh, hard to describe. Here's a handy-dandy link:

http://www.nationalcowboymuseum.org/

It doesn't say "hall of fame" anywhere, but trust me. Do a search for cowboy hall of fame and that's what comes up.

[Michele]

We have the Basketball Hall of Fame - that's the only one that comes to mind without any further research. (I'm sure I'll be back with that though). :lol:

[Bridget]

Or, if there are more than one, which is closest? I think closest to me is the Agricultural Hall of Fame. :rolleyes:
Which is the most interesting? None. :lol:
Which is the oddest? I'd say the WHEAT HALL OF FAME. :lol:
Have you been to any? NO!
Could there be more questions about Halls of Fame? Ooooooooo yes, but thanks for not asking them. :flippy:

I didn't think we had any, but the Google tells me Australian Prospectors and Miners Hall of Fame. Yee-haw!!

[MrsPeacefrog]

[Clare]

Do I have to state that no, I've never been there? :lol:

[Cami]

I haven't looked it up yet but I wouldn't be surprised if there is something related to moonshining in Kentucky. :lol: Or more realistically, horse racing. Or bourbon.

[Hannabanana]

:giggle: I knew that we had the Hockey Hall of Fame and when I went to search "the google" :giggle: I found Motorsport HOF, Sports HOF, Boxing HOF, Football HOF

[Barb]

Well, I thought we only had the Packer hall of fame, but boy did Google prove me wrong! :lol:

What does it say about me that I first read this as the Pecker hall of fame, and wondered why earth it would be in Wisconsin. :lol:
