CEDAR-STRIP CANOE BUILDING CLASS

Join in this fun and educational project by the ARC to build a cedar-strip canoe that will be raffled in the fall to raise money for the Center. Interested volunteers have begun working on this years canoe and meet each Tuesday at 7 p.m., in the upstairs of the Center. Theyll work until the project is finished in May. The end product will be a beautiful, 16-foot cedar-strip, fiberglassed canoe.

You need only show up to help in this extraordinary project, but feel free to contact Doug Nagel at 989-275-7266 to find out more.

Raffle tickets for the canoe will be available all summer at the AuSable River Center or at Fifth Street Market in downtown Roscommon; from any ARC committee member; or by mailing orders to the ARC, PO Box 363, Roscommon, MI 48653. Tickets are $5 each; three for $10; or seven for $20. The drawing will take place during the annual Michigan Firemens Memorial Festival in September, which is hosted at the Roscommon County Fairgrounds in Roscommon.

Volunteers who helped build this beautiful canoe, which was raffled in 2009,
were proud to pose with the finished product. Get in on the fun and learn some new skills!.
