The Line Up For 2007:

Well it's that time of year to start planning for this year's events. This year we have three events for your enjoyment.  

The 26th annual Great Tug Race in Sault Ste Marie on July 7th 2007.

Tugfest Owen Sound July 28th & 29th.

Tugfest Parry Sound Aug 24th & 25th.

Tugfest Owen Sound as part of the Home Comming event. This is a first time event to commemorate 150 years of boat building in Owen Sound, featuring a tribute to Russel Brothers Tugs. Steve Briggs is putting this event together. He and his committee are working on getting as many Russel tugs to this event as possible, but all other makes and models are welcome as well to attend this event.

This picture is from our 2004 Parry Sound tugfest.   The CPR bridge in the background is 100 years old this year. We hope to celebrate this historical event at Tugfest.  

Go to our links for more info on The Great Tug Race Sault Ste Marie and Tugfest Owen Sound Russel Brothers Tugs (Steelcraft) by Steve Briggs. 

Parry Sound Tugfest info is under Festival news our home page.

I hope you can attend any or all three events.
