Bass Tournament Gets Help


The Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship is a go for 2011.

Tournament organizers confirmed plans for next year after finding a new chair and filling a number of vacancies on the board during a meeting last night.

Outgoing chair Tom Fry says it's a huge relief for him.

"More relieved that it looks like things will go ahead," says Fry, "than I am about not having the position as chair anymore. Certainly, I fell good about that. I just didn't feel with my new personal commitments of heading south and so on that I could handle the job the way I've done in the past."

Fry says he will continue to stay on the board to assist new chair Gord Watson.
