Several of the Red Lake Publicity Board Members Head South of the Border


It's true - the next best thing to fishing and hunting in the Red Lake, Ear Falls and Perrault Falls area is talking about it. For many members of Tourism Red Lake Publicity Board, this is the time of the year when they pack up and head south for the start of the sports show season.

First on the schedule is the All Canada Show, the largest gathering of Canadian lodges in the MIdwest United States market. The first show of the season opened on January 6th in St Louis; at the time of this writing is opening in Indianapolis until the 11th of January when All Canada packs up and heads to Chicago, arguably the largest show market on the tour.

Ten of our members will be exhibiting in Chicago which opens January 12th and runs through January 15th. Tourism Red Lake will also have a booth at the show. 

Good luck to the following members debuting on the All Canada Show in Chicago.
