The Parade of Boats is returning to the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship.
It's being renamed the Boston Pizza Parade of Boats following a sponsorship agreement with the local restaurant operator Dale Fortes.
"When we learning it wasn't part of the Bass tournament last year we were disappointed but understood the reasons for it," says Fortes. "We have the opportunity with Boston Pizza to bring it back and make sure the fans are treated to the Parade of Boats."
As part of its commitment, the restaurant will award $1,000 in cash to the best dressed boat as voted by parade-goers.
