It looks like one of these Governors Cup tournaments. Asuncion Governors Cup fishing tournament is on the same weekend so it will be interesting to
see where all the dignitaries that usually show up for these events will be...the governor always comes here to award the prizes and kiss the
ladies...I guess he will just fly around alot that day.bill erhardt - 7-16-2010 at 08:11 AM
No, I don't believe this one is a Governor's Cup, although I'm sure the governor would be welcome if he runs out of ladies to kiss in Asuncion.shari - 7-16-2010 at 08:27 AM
