Summary

The Beaver Island Chamber of Commerce reported nearly 500 requests for information and 150 visitors to its office during June 1996. It described the Fourth of July parade, carnival, and fireworks as successful, then announced that the Sunset Cruise originally planned for July 27 would be held August 3, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.

Evidence limits

The visitor figures are the Chamber’s reported activity totals, and the cruise notice is an advance announcement; neither establishes a complete inquiry ledger or cruise attendance and proceeds.
