Summary

Planning for Beaver Island’s 2018 Fourth of July Carnival began in April. The organizer estimated that more than 40 volunteers would be needed across planning, setup, games, operation, and teardown; by June 27–28, only three additional helpers were still sought. A participant also offered power equipment connected to the Parish Rectory.
