Abstract:
The North Carolina Folklore Society's Community Traditions Award originated in 1992 and is given to organizations that make valuable contributions to the state's folk life. The 2003 award was presented to the Foundation for Shackleford Horses, Inc. for championing the wild horses during the 1990s against manmade and natural threats to their long-term survival. Their work resulted in federal legislation in 1998 that gave protection to the horses.

Abstract:
Hurricane Isabel did more than flood and destroy homes in the Down East section of North Carolina in 2003. It wreaked havoc upon family heirlooms and community treasures, including family Bibles, photo albums, musical instruments, and ancient quilts. While volunteers from across the state responded to the community needs of food, water and shelter, Vogel called in a team of conservators from the National Park Service Harpers Ferry Center Conservation Lab to evaluate, restore, and repair family treasures. Vogel received the award for “his leadership and example in the rescue of artifacts of Down East culture in the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel, and for his dedication to preserving, appreciating, and celebrating the human accomplishments of our traditional maritime communities.”
