Bass Tournament in Jeopardy

The Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship is in jeopardy of not happening next year.

At a meeting last night, the current board of directors indicated a willingness to remain, but only if four vacancies are filled first.

Chair of the event Tom Fry says they're looking for a co-chair as well as individuals to be responsible for the events computer systems, daytime activities and site and facilities.

"We've set a date of October 20th," says Fry, "at which time we will have another meeting in hopes of filling the four vacant spots."

Fry says if next year's event does go ahead, it won't be held at the Fort Frances waterfront.

Fry says moving the event indoors to the Memorial Sportsplex will help save money and deal with the weather.
