The original Canoe Travelling Trophy was joined in 2006 by two new trophies destined for fame themselves. Pictured here is the Travelling Trophy on the left, "Clara", who is the ultimate prize for contestants in the Great Chicken FryOff, and the Biathlon Cup on the right.

Each gets inscribed with the names of the winners of the respective contests, and reside with the winners for the duration of their 1-year reign.

Many thnks to Kelly and Pat Leffingwell, for the Biathlon Cup, to Gary Wolf for the Chicken Trophy, and to Frank Deutsch for putting them all together.


US Olympian Roland Muhlen ('72, '76, '80), with his wife Linda, the 2006 C-2 Mixed Race Winners.

Roland, a previous multiple Champion in the original Canoe Races, accepted the Travelling Trophy on behalf of Ray Bauer and Tom Ackemyer, Canoefest 2006 Champions.
