Both Humboldt Born and Raised Kevin Dresser Talks of Frank Gotch to Takedown

From Humboldt, Iowa to being the head coach of Virginia Tech, Kevin Dresser has never forgotten his roots. Dresser and his brother were some of the first to purchase a large stone for the walkway leading up to the soon to be built statue of Humboldt’s Favorite son, Frank Gotch.

In the early 1900’s Gotch was one of the best known and most competitive athletes in the world and as much as he traveled around the globe he made his home in the NW corner of the state of Iowa. Dresser told me that Gotch is one of the reasons that wrestling is strong in the Iowa.

Thursday May 19th we’ll celebrate the life and times in Gotch’s home town. You can join us from 5 to 9 PM.

Special guests include Tom Brands, Mike Chapman, Jim Raschke, Bob Steenlage, Brad Rheingans, Tony Ersland, Bill Smith and many others. Silent auctions, collectable’s hors d’ oeuvres and more.

Be a part of the future as we salute the past at Rustix restaurant at 716 Sumner Ave, Humboldt, Iowa on May 19th from 5 to 9 PM.
