MILES CITY, MONTANA: Miles Community College will be holding the First Interstate Athletic Hall of Fame induction banquet on Saturday, February 19. This year’s event will include a social hour, dinner, and hall of fame induction ceremony. After the very first hall of fame held in 2019, this regularly scheduled banquet was not held during 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic and other COVID-19 restrictions but will continue to be an annual event on the MCC campus.
The banquet will begin at 6:00 pm with a no-host social hour and dinner at 7:00 pm, followed by the induction ceremony. Montana radio personality Rocky Erickson of Rocky Erickson Sports will emcee the event. The inductees will also be introduced during halftime at the MCC Pioneer Women’s Basketball game against Dawson Community College on Sunday, February 20 at 1:00 pm.
Tickets are $30.00 per person and can be purchased from MCC Athletic Director Jerry Olson at 406-351-9761, olsonj@milescc.edu, or by stopping by the MCC Campus. Tickets must be purchased by February 12.
