Jerry Rice party....somebody just shoot me. I want to die with a smile on my face!!!

The Fred Dean party was just sick. I can't even imagine what Jerry's private party will be like.

Anyone looking to do anything during that weekend needs to get in touch with John Martin PERIOD!

He is the MAN.

PS

I was looking at the all time records. Emmitt and Jerry put their records so far out there, that the person that may break it, probably isn't even born yet!!!

if you get in the Rice party...I want to go!!!!!

Go eat at The Stables, which is Chris Spielman's restaurant. Awesome to look at, it looks like a castle, and the burgers are huge. At least they were 10 years ago when I was there.....

It really all depends on what your interests are or what you or someone might have in mind. Canton really isn't that different than any other mid-size city population just under 100,000.

If your into history there is the McKinley Monument & Museum (William McKinley) 25th President of the US. This place is pretty cool, there is also a museum that's kid friendly.

There are many swim areas, Clays Park Resort for example is literally right up the highway (10-15 minutes) from the hotel in Massillon. They usually have festivals & some concerts there during the summer months also, check their website & park calendar.

Amish country is just southeast of Massillon, actually about 20 minutes east from the MFCA Dover, OH convention location. This area is the largest population of Amish in the country. Many sites to see, if your the touristy type. Lots of wine & cheese places as well. The cheese is fabulous.

If your not opposed to traveling a little (after your travels to get to Canton/Massillon), the following are some excellent ideas:

You could travel northeast approx. 90 minutes to Sandusky, OH the home of Cedar Point Amusement Park. One of the most famous and heavily traveled amusement parks in the country. It is a great family trip. I think Jerry Maguire & his son went there last year the morning after the HOF game, maybe he could chime in on his experience.

Also in the Sandusky area is the Kalahari Waterpark, now this place is really cool. I was just there (for the first time) over Thanksgiving. Indoor/outdoor waterpark, and when I say this place is huge, I mean its huge. These are also in (2) other locations across the country, Wisconsin & Virginia.

Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, OH right next to Browns stadium.

Lastly I'll suggest Put-n-Bay, Oh (PutinBay.com), this is located in the Lake Erie region. There is no doubt that Put-in-Bay Ohio is one of the most unique places you will ever visit. Our tiny two by four mile island is dotted with historic homes, the nation's third tallest monument, quaint restaurants and local pubs. Beautiful water surrounds Put in Bay where you will find the best walleye and perch fishing in the United States.

Over 2 million people annually discover the magic of the Bass Islands of Lake Erie. Put-in-Bay Ohio on South Bass Island is the crown jewel of the Lake Erie islands of Ohio. This website will provide you with all the information you need to plan that special Put-in-Bay getaway with your family or friends.
