Efforts to promote Fort Frances as a destination to visitors continue.
Early this year, the Rainy River Future Development Corporation helped two members of the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship to Louisianna to promote the tournament and the community.
Development Advisor Geoff Gillon says they're looking at similar junket to Birmingham, Alabama next year.
"It was loud and clear that we need to send at least two more people to work the businesses in the US that are associated with fishing to meet them, go to the receptions and to promote Fort Frances, says Gillon. "That's our goal, everything considered equal, we will be there."
Gillon admits only time will tell exactly how successful they're are in attracting residents from those areas to the district.
