A local collegiate rowing team is coming to race on Clinton Lake.

Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council, explains that the University of Illinois Men's and Women's Rowing Teams will be competing on the Clinton Lake this weekend.

Homann expects this to be a big event for Clinton. With all the athletes, families, and spectators that come to town, it could be a good opportunity for local businesses to capitalize on the increased traffic.
