Dragon Boat Festival Welcoming Americans

There could be some American flavour to this year's Dragon Boat festival in Fort Frances.

Event organizer Jenny Greenhalgh was in International Falls this week to promote the event to that city's council.

She is hoping increased involvement grows the event.

City councilor Cynthia Jacksa says they're ready to take part and may look at challenging Fort Frances council to a race.

Greenhalgh says she's also hoping to see participation from Duluth and Bemidji.

The event takes place along the Rainy River July 1.
