JUNO Award-winning Kim Mitchell will highlight this year's entertainment at the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship in July.

Mitchell's presence at the Championship was announced this morning on the the Can't Miss Morning Show with Christa Pare.

Mitchell brings with him a repertoire of hit music that date's back to the 1970's

"A lot of people perhaps know me for 'Go For A Soda' and 'Patio Latterns,' says Mitchell. "I was in band called Max Webster before that and we had six records. Then my solo career, there six or seven records with my last "Ain't Life Amazing, so there's a lot of material to choose from."

Mitchell will perform on the Thursday evening of the Bass Championship Week. Also hitting the stage will be Whole Lotta Angus, an AC-DC cover-band on the Friday event with Bon-Journey closing out the week.

Tickets go on sale this weekend at the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce Home and Leisure Show.
