Chapleau's 2nd Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race Hailed as "Amazing" Success

Chapleau's mayor is thanking the community for its support as the checkered flag's been waved for the second Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race.

Mayor Ryan Bignucolo says last weekend's event - the first edition of the Chapleau drag races since they debuted in 2019 - was quite successful.

Bignucolo particularly highlights work done on the airport ahead of time.

Mayor Bignucolo thanks the various sponsors and supporters - particularly Discovery Silver/Discovery Porcupine, who provided $50,000 in support - and notes plans for the third edition of the event to be held next year, though the date has yet to be confirmed.
