Summary
Beaver Island’s 2018 Independence Day program included a parade, Island Airways missing-man flyover, cannon fire, children’s carnival, dusk boat parade, and fireworks. The carnival notice additionally described a junior-class food tent, live music, a robotics display, and more than 40 reported volunteers. Beaver Island News on the Net later provided video coverage of the parade and fireworks and said the events had been livestreamed.
Evidence limits
The Chamber notice and subsequent video announcement establish the program and recorded coverage. They do not provide attendance figures or independent verification of every advertised element.
