Fate of Redneck Regionals

Stompin Tom will not be Stompin in Kenora this fall.

The "Hockey Song" singer was to be part of a "Redneck Festival" in October.

Council put the event on hold which means the deadline to book Connors has past.

Tourism Development Officer Nancy Tulloch says they plan to meet with council in the future to discuss a more stream lined event.

Some councillors felt the seed funding and the name of the festival needed to be changed before proceeding with the event.
