The Flin Flon Trout Festival kicked off Thursday night with a well attended barbeque in Pioneer Square.  Mayor Cal Huntley said this was the start to a bigger celebration next year.  He says the message is have a responsible good time, enjoy the good weather, the good company and companionship adding this will be a good preamble to the party that we’re going to throw for the 150 and it’s starting off very well.

The barbeque was sponsored by the City of Flin Flon, Flin Flon and District Chamber of Commerce, Hudbay, Flin Flon Trout Festival and the Flin Flon Lions Club.
