Tug of War Given Name


The tug of war between International Falls and Fort Frances has been given an official name.

Falls city administrator Rod Otternesss says it will be called the International Tug of War - Pulling for Peace.

"We really want this event to be an event that carries the sense of a sporting rather than just a fun event," says Otterness, "so that the participants, as they are pulling for peace, are also pulling for bragging rights for the next year."

Otterness says they're hoping to brand the name on items such as gloves and water bottles for participants.
