Dana Fischer of Portland was the lucky winner of our 2006 kayak raffle. His daughter Eve came to the Reserve today with her mom and enjoyed giving the kayak a "dry run" out on the Laudholm lawn. Congratulations, Fischer family!

The kayak raffle, for an Old Town Dirigo 120, was sponsored by Bandaloop and supported by L.L. Bean. The pumpkin-colored craft tied in nicely with both Punkinfiddle and National Estuaries Day.
