In addition to the main event of recognizing new inductees, the program will include a meal and recognition of past inductees. There will also be a championship team recognized, which will be the 1967 Marengo County High School football team, which, after a perfect season, was selected as the first officially sanctioned Alabama High School Athletic Association Class 1A champion.

There will also be a senior student athlete from the county presented with the Hall of Fame College Scholarship Award.

The sixth annual class promises to continue the tradition of showcasing the athletic talent produced from Marengo County.
