Parade of Boats Returns


The Parade of Boats makes its return today at the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship.

It begins at 5 p.m. beginning on Central Avenue with boats making their way down Scott Street to the Memorial Sports Centre.

Chair Tom Fry is looking for a good show from the anglers after the parade was dropped last year.

"They were part of the desire to bring it back," says Fry. "We had a lot of comments from people in the town as well as anglers who said they missed it last year. So we're kind of hoping everyone will come out and support it."

Boston Pizza also jumped on board as the major sponsor and is putting up a prize to the best dress boat as selected by the public.
