- The retrospective says that in the early 1960s the Civic raised money by raffling a week-long Beaver Island vacation during Fourth of July festivities, along with stuffed animals and picnics, and suggests old-fashioned games for a future celebration. It is a self-reported newspaper history, not a raffle ledger, prize register, or complete event programme.
