National Treasure Follow-up

The Calgary stop of the Canadian Canoe Museum "National Treasure Tour" was last Thursday at Mount Royal University. It was hosted by Undercurrents. (click here for the previous blog about the tour)

We've been up to our eyeballs in inventory for the last week, so I'm a little slow in getting this follow-up out.

James Raffan was very entertaining! He had a well-organized and smooth-flowing presentation about the uses of the canoe in society, much of it in advertising. Interspersed were 'plugs' for the museum and related stories, usually with funny endings. The whole evening was great!

There were about 55 people at the event, all of whom were just as enthusiastic as I am. We showed our famous "Calgary generosity" by raising $1,000 for the Canoe Museum through membership sales, merchandise sales and donations.
