​Greg Elonen from Superior (WI) is the lucky winner of the 2019 WCHM canoe raffle. His winning ticket, which he purchased while attending the WCHM Canoe & Wooden Boat Show on May 25th, was drawn by Vicki Shaffer of Edward Jones Investment Advisors in Spooner during a ceremony at the museum on Sunday September 29th at 3:00 PM. It was the last regular season open day for the museum, and the ceremony was held during a small party celebrating the conclusion of the season as well as the annual canoe raffle drawing.

​Greg came by the museum the very next day to make his choice of the two canoes in the raffle. The first canoe was a 15 foot cedar canvas tandem canoe built in the WCHM shop this past winter on a MacKenzie-Yost Duet form. Greg chose the second canoe, also a 15 foot cedar canvas tandem canoe built in the WCHM shop in 2017 on a MacKenzie-Yost MyPal form.
 
The annual canoe raffle is a major fundraiser for the museum, and provides about 15% of its operating revenues. Approximately 350 tickets had been sold in 2019 (out of only 500 printed), bringing in about $7,000 in revenues. For more information or to obtain tickets for the annual WCHM canoe raffle, contact WCHM Executive Director Jed Malischke at 715-635-2479 or info@wisconsincanoeheritagemuseum.org.
