Jeff Timmons of 98º to Perform at Fashion Show Luncheon



Jeff Timmons

“Jeff Timmons of 98º” will be the featured performer at this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Fashion Show Luncheon on Friday, August 1, at the Canton Memorial Civic Center.
A Massillon, Ohio, native, he is the founding member of the internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum, Grammy nominated group 98 Degrees, which has sold over 15 million albums with four top five radio singles.
Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch and the chance to win a fabulous diamond watch grand prize, followed by a runway show that is arguably the largest and most spectacular fashion show in Ohio. Football and fashion might seem like an unlikely mix, but it’s a perfect fit for the nearly 3,200 guests who enjoy the event that includes state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and video to showcase male and female models featuring the season’s hottest fashions.  An exclusive bridal scene will be a new element in this year’s show, and all the fashions will be enhanced by the excitement of several performances by Jeff Timmons!
Tickets for this fashion and entertainment extravaganza can be purchased at the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, 222 Market Avenue North in downtown Canton, or by calling ticket manager Kim Miller at 330.458.2048.
