An estimated 1,200 people dropped by the Rainy River First Nations’ pow-wow grounds on Friday to enjoy the annual fish fry hosted by the band’s chief and council. At times the line reached almost back to Highway 71 as a steady stream of guests feasted on fried walleye and smoked sturgeon, along with many salads and other side dishes. See story, more photos A7.
