Summary

The June issue announced a June 26–27 Electric Car Show with vehicles, test drives, a Beaver Island electric pickup, and a free June 27 screening of Who Killed the Electric Car? at the Community Center. A contemporaneous organizer follow-up reported that the show took place, with thinner crowds than the prior year, one reported sale, and several sales leads.

Evidence limits

The newspaper establishes the public event plan. The attendance, sale, and sales- lead figures come from an organizer’s forum post and are not independently audited; this record does not claim environmental outcomes.
