Summary
Beaver Island held its first advertised Eco-Fair on June 23–24, 2017. The program focused on nature, sustainability, water protection, local food, renewable energy, community resilience, and related public discussion, with speakers and a community ecological award.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves organizer announcements and advocacy material, not an attendance count, formal proceedings, or a technical environmental assessment. Line 5 claims in the related advocacy post remain attributed campaign claims.

- The announcement described a June 23–24 event with a bonfire, beaver and water programming, sustainability exhibits, Great Lakes speakers, a water ceremony, music, and an ecological-award presentation. It establishes the advertised program, not attendance or every completed activity.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011746
- An Oil & Water Don’t Mix campaign message used the Eco-Fair to solicit public action concerning Line 5 and its possible impact on the Great Lakes and Beaver Archipelago. Its pipeline-age, volume, spill, and risk statements are campaign claims with mixed figures in the post; they are preserved as advocacy context, not adopted as verified technical facts.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011750
- The organizers moved the bonfire to St. James Campground, and Pam Grassmick later thanked organizers after being named Eco-Champion. These posts add operational and participant follow-up, not attendance or a formal environmental assessment.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011759
