I haven't lived in Massillon for an extended length of time for several years. However, I still feel a lot of pride when the Massillon Tigers beat their rivals, the Canton McKinley Bulldogs. Massillon needed a win to get into the playoffs. The Tigers won, 17-0. Pictured above are the Tigers with the victory bell. Thanks to the Massillon Independent for this photo. Massillon hasn't won a state championship since 1970. They haven't been to a state title game in over 25 years. Massillon is itching for a state title. I hope to see the Tigers win a state title in my lifetime. This year's playoff hunt starts this weekend with a road playoff game at North Canton Hoover. GO TIGERS!
Fellow readers, relating your hometown, what are some things that you are especially proud of?

If you want to know about the town I spent the majority of my childhood in, that would be Hinckley. The big thing there would be Buzzard Day.
But I consider Rittman my hometown, since I have lived there longer than any other place. It has a nice small town atmosphere, while being only minutes from big town conveniences. The best thing about Rittman(besides their high school marching band and announcer) would be their annual Sleepwalker Festival.
Cliff...having worked in places like Clyde, Dover, and New Philadelphia, I have to say that I love the charm of small towns.
What is the Sleepwalker Festival? Or am I asking a really dumb question?
