Good morning, Canton.

Fan Fest will launch at the Pro Football Hall of Fame campus from July 31 to August 3, offering free live music, food, games and photo opportunities with Hall of Fame inductees.

Jim Porter, CEO of the Hall of Fame, said the event will help attract local residents by including free shuttle service and limited free parking — all designed to boost community engagement.

Taggarts Ice Cream at 1401 Fulton Road NW in Canton was voted the top ice cream shop by over 300 Canton Repository readers in a week-long survey, with 20% naming it their favorite in Northeast Ohio.

The season will kick off in October with Peter and the Wolf featuring live music by 36 Canton Symphony Orchestra musicians—narrated by a Pro Football Hall of Fame member.

Hartford Bakery, Inc. recalled nearly 900 loaves of Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf sold at Kroger and Walmart due to undeclared hazelnuts—customers with nut allergies are urged to return the products for a full refund.
