On June 21, Ray Yannucci and Paul Warfield, the former Cleveland Brown and Warren G. Harding football standout, will host the Warren Football Legends at Trumbull Country Club in Warren. The Ninth Annual Celebration Dinner that day, with the golf outing on June 22.

The combo cost for the dinner and golf outing is $225 per person.

The celebrity panel at the dinner will feature “145 Years of Cleveland Browns Media.” It includes Cleveland Browns beat writers Mary Kay Cabot (Plain Dealer and cleveland.com), Tony Grossi (ESPN) and Mara Ridenour (Akron Beacon Journal). Yannucci will moderate the panel. It will include a question and answer session.

The June 21 dinner includes a social hour, four-hour open bar and a charcuterie. The dinner includes: salad with braised beef short ribs, chicken parmesan, pork tenderloin or pasta with two sauces, Italian wedding cookies and chocolates for dessert.

Seven foursome spots are still available for the 18-hole golf outing at Trumbull County Club. The winning team will receive $1,000.

The outing includes registration prizes of $50 value, several competition events (Hole-in-One Contest on No. 17, Closest to Pin on No. 3, 5, 12 and 17 and Longest Drive on No. 1 and 18), a pre-golf brunch, beverages and snacks on the course.
