Fort Frances and the Rainy Lake will be showcased in Birmingham, Alabama next week.
Members of the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship and the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce will be at the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo to promote the area as a tourist destination.
Doug Cain says its follows a similar trip to Shreveport, Louisiana last year, but part of the focus this year will be to also promote the district as a good place to do business.
"The trade show attracts the best of the best in the fishing industry," says Cain. "So we're going to have a separate draw for industry and we're looking at promoting Rainy Lake as not just a fishing destination, but also as a good place to do business in Canada from."
Cain says they'll also be raffling off a fishing trip to Campfire Fire Camp to those who visit their booth with each person receiving a gift provided by a number of local, regional and national sponsors.
