The Auburn-Lewiston Sports Hall of Fame has been a part of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce since March of 1983.  Over the past 35 years, there have been 150 inductees to the Sports Hall of Fame.  The annual awards banquet takes place in late spring and also includes the Chamber President’s Award for outstanding current achievement, and the “Flashback to Fame” Team Award to the championship teams of the past.  Over the years, the Auburn Lewiston Sports Hall of Fame has become a major community activity of the Chamber. The Hall of Fame inductee plaques can be viewed at Gippers Sports Grill in Auburn.
