It's been an event that's happened at Clinton Lake for nearly a decade and it's back this weekend.

A weekend rowing tournament in Clinton will draw roughly 25 collegiate rowing teams and on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council told Regional Radio the tournament is for men's and women's teams that will come from across the country.

Homann anticipates many of the competitors and staff as well as spectators to be in Clinton and Farmer City convenience stores, gas stations, and restaurants this weekend providing a great boost to the local economy.

Homann credits the DCDC and others for bringing this tournament to Clinton Lake over a decade ago. He indicates Clinton Lake is well suited for rowing competitions thanks to its size.
