Summary
After Labor Day 1962, the Beaver Islander was scheduled to make one trip per day, with no Sunday trips, through November, and to remain based at Beaver Island. The Beacon also reported the closing of the King Strang Hotel, Harbor Hills Golf Course and Ice Cream Stand, Rustic Villa Grill, and Allen’s Cabins.
