Tour de Fort Future in Doubt


The group responsible for bringing entertainment to Fort Frances says if it doesn't sell more season-passports by next Tuesday, it will end operations at the end of the 2010-11 season.

President of Tour de Fort, Kerry Zucchiatti says they need to sell at least another 125 passports to ensure they have the funds needed to book performers for another season.

"Despite a huge effort to promote the series, it seems that interest has seriously waned," says Zucchiatti, "and without those support dollars, we simply cannot enter into contracts in good faith."

As part of its campaign, the group is contacting former passport holders and making passports available at Shopper Drug Mart and the Fort Frances Public Library.
