There's going to be a new look to this year's Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship.
The event is being shortened with the tournament starting in the middle of the week. Some events, such as the Parade of Boats and teen dance, have been eliminated. President Tom Fry says the changes reflect public concerns that a week-long event was too long.
"That's the message we we getting from the public," says Fry, "that there was too many nights involved. That was one of the reasons we saw a fall off of attendance in the first couple of days."
Fry says the elimination of the parade of boats was based on declining participation from anglers and lower than expected attendance at the tent site.
