DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The Duluth Seaway Port Authority and Visit Duluth have opened the annual guessing contest for when the first ocean going ship arrives in the Twin Ports.
The Soo Locks will open on March 25th allowing the ocean going “salties” to navigate into Lake Superior.
Nearly 8,000 entries were made in last year’s contest. The closest guess this year will win a 485 dollar Duluth prize package from the various sponsors of the contest.
