(Festus) The 27th Festus School District Hall of Fame inductee has been announced. Former Festus Mayor William Earl Cook received the special surprise announcement during last weekends Cultural Diversity Luncheon at the Quality Inn in Festus.

Kevin Pope is the Coordinator of Communications at the Festus School District. He says they noticed a nomination for Mr. Cook earlier this year and they knew they had to jump on the opportunity right away.

We asked Pope what Mr. Cook’s reaction was when the announcement was made.

Right now there is no setup time or date when the hall of fame induction ceremony will be held.

However, according to Pope, hall of fame induction ceremonies are typically held around homecoming festivities in October.
