A "friendly" war of words is being waged in advance of the International Pulling for Peace tug of war between International Falls and Fort Frances.America's captain, former Minnesota Viking great Matt Blair, complains Canada's team doesn't have enough women on its squad.
Fort Frances councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft counters with accusations of a lack of homegrown talent on the U.S. team.
"The celebrities on the Fort Frances team are all from Fort Frances," says Weidenhoeft. "where International Falls brought in celebrities from across the state of Minnesota so he has nothing to protest about."
The "friendly" tug of war competitions go this Saturday.
