The September 2014 Beaver Beacon reports Beaver Island’s July Fourth parade, including a Missing Man flight, veterans, tribal participants, floats, live radio coverage, and an evening harbor fireworks display.

Sources

  1. The live thread described the parade, cannon firing, floats and vehicles, the Stoney bus, and a participant watching from Whiskey Island via the Powers Hardware webcam; a related notice invited people to post-parade games, a bounce house, face painting, and water guns at the Community School, hosted by the District Library Teen Group. These are contemporaneous community observations and announcements, not a complete program or attendance record.
