Celebrate Ontario Money Received

The Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship is getting a financial boast from the provincial government.

Tom Fry says the Celebrate Ontario funding will be used toward the entertainment portion of this year's event.

"This year we got $45-thousand," says Fry, "and that is primarily for our entertainment package. We haven't finalized it right now, but we are in the process of booking a top notched band for the Friday night."

Similar funding last year helped bring Kim Mitchell to Fort Frances.
