In 2021, The Classic Board of Directors began the "Classic Field of Fame" to honor those who have supported us in an outstanding fashion. The inaugural inductees included Governor Sam Brownback for his vision to create an event to highlight northwest Kansas hunting, along with Board Member and co-founder of the Classic, Oakley's Raelene Keller and two sponsors who have supported the Classic from the beginning - Gus Bader/TriStar Arms and Tom Willis/Conestoga Energy.
