We’re on the Lookout– From Boats to Tools!




Do you have a slumbering wood canvas canoe in your garage? Has your collection of antique (or modern!) tools reached capacity and it’s time to let go of a few? Is that pile of cozy northern quilts just a little too tall?

Why not give your treasures a second life by donating them to the Boats to Tools Auction at North House Folk School? A classic element of the Wooden Boat Show, the Boats to Tools Auction tells the adventure of life in the North. Funds raised go toward bringing international speakers, first-rate coursework, and regionally revered special events to North House’s campus in Cook County every year.

North House is accepting donations of:
. Boats of all types / Boating Supplies / Boating Books
. Woodworking Tools / Woodworking Supplies /
Woodworking Books
. Outdoor Gear / Camping Supplies / Outdoor
Related Books
. Traditional Craft
. Gift Certificates
. The Boats to Tools Auction takes place June
17 during the Wooden Boat Show.
