Heritage Events Re:Scheduled

Weather has won out over today's events planned in conjunction with the official opening of the tower and tugboat Hallet on the Fort Frances waterfront.

An official ribbon cutting was planned for noon, but officials instead held an indoor event this morning at the Ontario Travel tourism centre.

The tug-of-war between the town of Fort Frances and the city of International Falls, scheduled for 12:30 p.m., has now been cancelled.

It will now be held July 2.

Other events planned for the waterfront have been moved indoors to the Memorial Sports Centre including the lumberjack show and arts activities.

A BBQ for the Fun in the Sun committee has also been cancelled, but there will be an similar one later today for the Muskies Sports Association at the Sports Centre.
