Tug of War Taking Shape



Some of the details of this summer's tug of war between Fort Frances and International Falls have been revealed.

Fort Frances Councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says there are two separate events planned for July 2.

"One (will be) Fort Frances council versus the International Falls council with some celebrities attached the rope,," says Wiedenhoeft. "There will be twenty pulling against twenty. That will go first. We are going to have a tug-of-war between the Americans and Canadians with fifty (pullers) versus fifty."

A new trophy will also be handed out to the winners.
