It's looking like the Memorial Sports Centre will be a permanent home for the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championships.
The event was held indoors for the first time and chair Tom Fry says it worked out every well for organizers.
"I think we're here to stay," says Fry. "It was just an awesome show. Everything was professionally done. The arena looked great. That boat parade worked out just super going in a circle around the arena. I don't think we could have done it any better."
Fry says the big challenge for next year will filling a number of positions on the board of directors including his role as chair.
"There are a few other directors who have indicated they would like to step down so we're going to be looking for directors no later than September 1st."
The organizing committee faced a similar problem which threatened the 2010 tournament before being able to fill several vacancies late last fall.
