Hello! It’s me the Executive Director, Alexis! I am TERRIBLE at remembering to take pictures but I got these ones! (Because I literally set an alarm).

ANYWAY, I want to give a HUGE shoutout to all the volunteers who helped make Canoecopia a success! Not everyone is pictured (because, again, I’m horrible at pictures) but THANK YOU ALL so much!! I am forever blown away by the amount of support this museum has from its volunteers. Every single one of you is amazing. Especially braving the snow last weekend!

Another big shoutout to our booth partners this year the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association! It was a blast sharing being next to WCHA and we hope you can support their association as well as ours!
