An estimated 400 Bay County Sports Fans filled the Grand Ballroom at DoubleTree Hotel on Sunday afternoon, October 21, 2007 to celebrate the annual Bay County Sports Hall of Fame (HOF) induction dinner.

HOF Inductees, their families and friends were on hand for the 17th Annual HOF Induction ceremony. Inductees for 2007 were: Dean Oswald, Dale Dunham, Bonnie Kanicki-Wilson, Mark Talaga, Roger Phelps, Virgel Meisel and Charles Rochow.
