The 58th annual North Idaho Hall of Fame banquet, scheduled for April 25 at the Coeur d’Alene Resort, was canceled by organizers over the weekend due to safety recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unlike in Washington and Oregon, Idaho Gov. Brad Little has yet to issue a statewide ban on mass gatherings, leaving those decisions to municipalities and individual organizations.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare on March 16 issued recommendations and guidance for venues and residents planning events of more than 50 people, saying experts are supportive of cancellations.

The five honorees will be inducted at the 2021 banquet.

The previously announced inductees are former Idaho women’s basketball player Emily Faurholt Sann, former Vandals football players Jason Shelt and Robert Young, former Coeur d’Alene HS and Montana volleyball standout Ann Schwenke Jaworski and longtime high school teacher, coach, administrator and basketball official Jim Wilund.

“We’re obviously disappointed,” said Rick Rasmussen, chairman of the organizing committee. “We tried to hold on, push the date back. But with schools closed and everything so uncertain it was necessary to cancel.”

Rasmussen said that featured speaker NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Kramer has committed to participate next year.

“I’m sad for the student athletes and inductees that were to be honored,” Jaworski said. “But in the big picture, what really matters is protecting the health of our families and communities.”

The organizers also announced this year’s finalists for the North Idaho high school and college players of the year. The nominations cover spring sports from the 2018-19 school year and fall and winter sports from the 2019-20 school year.

Nominations and finalists for each category are reviewed by the Hall of Fame committee. Winners, who normally are announced at the annual banquet, will be announced via press release on April 26.

Ticketholders will be notified via email about refunds.
