Our annual Hall of Fame Banquet returns to the Gladstone Inn & Suites in Jamestown. Seven new inductees - Jim Clark (Jamestown), Elliott Gerhardt (Bismarck), Jim Kessler (Bismarck), Sam McQuade Jr (Bismarck), Shannon McQuade-Ely (Bismarck), Michael Nider (Mandan), and Josh Schaner (Bismarck) - will join the largest local association Hall of Fame in USA Softball with over 300 of their peers welcoming the Class of 2025 into their ranks. The event gets underway at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 6, 2025 with a social and dinner before the inductees receive their plaques and make their speeches.

We also use the occasion to call attention to other remarkable individuals within our organization with the Walt Stack Umpire Award of Excellence, the Distinguished Service Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The North Dakota Softball Hall of Fame relies on the generosity of the softball community to viably host its annual banquet and properly honor the hundreds of Hall of Famers. If you would like to provide a donation to this entity in lieu of or in addition to purchasing tickets to this year’s banquet, you may do so via this form.

Please check in at the registration table upon your arrival at the Gladstone Inn to receive your meal ticket.

The Jamestown Civic Center – located across the street from the Gladstone Inn & Suites and home to the North Dakota Sports Hall of Fame – will be open prior to the banquet so attendees may view the plaques of all members of the North Dakota Softball Hall of Fame. However, visitors must go no further than the foyer where those plaques are on display as the Civic Center is hosting another event that day.
