The grand prize of Penobscot Marine Museum’s 2010 raffle went to Cathy and Steven Vorpagel of Readfield, who are the new owners of an authentic birchbark canoe, built at the museum last summer by master builder Steve Cayard and a team of apprentices from the Wabanaki nations. Steven Vorpagel is an avid canoe collector, and both he and Cathy are active in the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association, an international organization dedicated to preserving and using traditional canoes. While Steven had bought two raffle tickets for himself, the winning ticket was bought by Cathy with the object of giving the canoe to Steven, should she win. Bob Holtzman, right, raffle coordinator for the museum, presented the canoe to the Vorpagels.
