4. Pelican 15.5 foot Explorer Canoe (used) with pair of Feather Brand 48″ wooden canoe paddles (used). Approximate value: $300.00 (I did a bit of research and I found the canoe new for $500.00 and the paddles new for 72.00 per pair, so I valued the set at about 1/2 the cost if they were new). Donor: CWL Assn.

5. Vintage Snow Shoes with poles. Approximate value in unknown as I need to look at the brand and do some research or you can just put $100.00 as the approximate value. Donor: CWL Assn.
