Congrats to 2022 Walk of Fame Inductees

Barberton’s 2022 Walk of Fame on September 23rd was a success! While the weather was a bit chilly, the speech made by Betty Sutton during the Induction Ceremony certainly warmed our hearts. Congratulations to our 2022 Walk of Fame Inductees, Betty Sutton, John Mackovic, and General Charles L. Donnelly Jr.!

The Walk of Fame’s mission is to honor our fellow Barbertonians who have left a footprint within
our City’s history. Each year, nominations will be accepted for future inductions and selected by
the Walk of Fame Committee. The Walk of Fame Committee members were all selected by Mayor Judge to ensure the integrity of the program was fair and honorable.

If you would like to nominate an individual, please send all inquiries to:

City of Barberton
Mayor’s Office
576 W. Park Ave.
Barberton, OH 44203

All entries must be submitted by June 1st to be considered for that year’s induction.
