Summary

The September 2012 Beaver Beacon reports the August 10 Beaver Island Drum In and its community music-making. A contemporaneous Community Center follow-up said Carolyn Koebel of An Dro led the session for more than an hour at Whiskey Point as the sun set.

Evidence limits

The forum follow-up is an institutional post-event account, not an attendance record or independent performance review.

  3. The Center announced the August 10 Drum In at Whiskey Point, gave a weather backup at the Community Center, and later reported that Carolyn Koebel led an hour-long session at sunset. The institutional follow-up supports occurrence, but not attendance or a complete participant count.
